HAY flrmtanfa Aiiftrras ODAY it falls to the lot of the Valedictorian to say Farewell to Saginaw High School, but custom also gives the President the pleasure of saying a few words. In such times as these words mean little and we are hardly able to express our gratitude to the Faculty who have given their efforts in our behalf during the past four years which will un- doubtedly prove to be among the most important in our lives. We have all worked, more or less, to further add to the name and glory of our Class and the School. In later years we will be able to turn back with pride to the days spent at Saginaw High School, our successes and failures, friendships and associations, most of which let us hope will remain with us throughout the future years. Yet there is another thing besides these friendships and asso- ciations which has come to us during the past four years — that is, the foundation, firm and sound, upon which we are to build our future, This we have gained after many trials and disappointments, but all have ended happily making it possible for us to close our High School careers and go out into the world. Today we sit together for the last time, and it is in a spirit of regret, tempered by our bright hopes and expectations, that the Class of Nineteen Sixteen bids farewell to Saginaw High School.

Today 1 the Class of 1916 is met beneath this roof for the last time. As individuals we may return, but as a class we are honor- ably discharged. And so, at a moment such as this, it is but natural to pause in retrospection. Four years back we made our timid debut into the realm of the Saginaw High School. Some four hundred strong we invaded this Haven of Learning. THEN, in ANTICIPATION, a High School career seemed almost eternal. TODAY, in REFLEC- TION, it seems all too short. During the four years of steady preparation, our ranks have thinned noticeably. Much as we regret this, yet, there comes with it an added consciousness of accomplishment, like that of the vet- eran who has successfully weathered a gruelling campaign. But what is the factor that has led us to this achievement? Members of the Faculty! It is to you we owe our deepest grati- tude ! Humbly though we express ourselves, we do it sincerely. We hope that you see in us enough improvement to infuse satisfac- tion of a task well done. Permit us, in our way, to say that we believe you should. For the learning we get from books is neg- ligible when compared to the immense value of our mutual rela- tionships. Our benefits from you are intangible! They are the invaluable elements of character and poise. Our indebtedness to you can never be oaid; our gratitude will be enhanced by time. And Fellow-students, we also have a word for you! To you we give not warning, but encouragement. But there is one solemn fact which we desire to impress upon you. That fact is this: There are two great Hills of Existence. Let us call one the Hill of Preparation and the other the Hill of the Realities of Life. These Hills are traversed by the Path of Work, which is long, straight and upward. Looking up you can see the summit of the Hill of Preparation. Soon you will stand on that summit, as the Class of 1916 does today, and wijl see the larger Hill of Life rising before you. Then comes the realization that the strength gained in the first climb is to aid in the second one. Fellow-students, get all the strength you can while the time is opportune! But, meanwhile, we charge you, keep the name of the Saginaw High School as unblemished as has the Class of 1916. Bequeath that standard as untarnished as you inherit it! Then, only, have you fulfilled a trust. And now, in conclusion, pardon us if we mention, for a mo- ment, ourselves. The Class of 1916, the largest ever to graduate from this school, and numbering some one hundred and fifty-seven eager souls, with as many destinies, is about to take its formal leave. Our progression through this institution has been marked by many memorable events. We have demonstrated whatever we possess of initiative, talent and capability. Taken all in all we are proud of our career. We have no cause for shame. Whatever we have done as a class, we, as a class, stand responsible for. And were we permitted to draw one last simile it would be this: We would compare our career as a class to the progression of a caterpillar through a cocoon and thence into the more desirable butterfly. And like the butterfly we, in the same season, vacate our “cocoon” and go away. Though our leave-taking savors of regret yet we tingle with enthusiasm of youth in anticipation. In the language of the poet, we say: “Farewell, a word that must be and hath been, A sound which makes us linger: yet—farewell.” CLASS VALEDICTORIAN. INTRODUCTION “Justly Caesar scorns the poet’s lays; It is to history he trusts for praise.” | | XACTLY as the accomplishments of great people, great places, great countries and great nations are written down and preserved in history, so shall the accomplishments of the Class of Nineteen Sixteen be written down and pre- served with the histories of the classes that have graduated before us at good old Saginaw High. E CHAPTER I “Mighty things from small beginnings grow.”—Dryden. It was in September, four years ago, that the Class of Nineteen Sixteen entered upon its Freshman year in Saginaw High School. We were, of course, conscious of that fear which is usually present in the heart of any beginner, but with the help of the teachers and with the ideal ahead of us to some day become “dignified Seniors,” we applied ourselves to our work. In the early fall, we had a class meeting, choosing the following officers: Robert Granville ....................President Helen Burrill...................Vice-President Roy Bricker .........................Secretary Donna Sudlow.........................Treasurer At this meeting we also chose blue and gold for our class colors. Under the elected officers we continued a custom originated by the Freshman class that preceded us, of having so-called “Freshmen Frolics.” Two Frolics, which proved to be very successful enter- tainments and helped us considerably in becoming acquainted with our fellow class-mates, were held during the year. At the close of the school year we presented to the Manual Training building the second of a series of pictures to be given by Freshman classes. The presentation was made by our President at the Seniors’ Class Day exercises. CHAPTER II “The youth advanced—in open sight.”—Parnell After the enjoyments of a much-earned summer vacation, we again resumed our duties at good old Saginaw High. The fears that we possessed at the beginning of our first year were forgotton by us, however, as was also the dread of school life. For we re- alized that, as Sophomores, there was as much enjoyment waiting ahead of us as there was work. We held an early class meeting, selecting the following officers to guide us on: Gordon Wilber.......................President Margaret Moffit ...............Vice-President Roy Bricker ........................Secretary Helen Perkins.......................Treasurer After the mid-year examinations we completed our plans for the annual “Sophomore Spread.” The event proved to be one of the finest parties we had ever attended and we hope that there will not be one of us who will forget the wonderful and delightful time that he had at this successful affair. CHAPTER III “Not one look backward; onward still he goes.”—Pope. Life at the school city was again renewed the following Sep- tember, when we entered upon our Junior year. Our class meeting took place the next month, the following officers being elected: Knowlton Comins ....................President Edna Ganss.....................Vice-President Frederick Louden ...................Secretary Emma Heymann........................Treasurer The first subject discussed was the Junior Hop, which proved to be a very delightful and successful social event and which met with favor by all members of the School as well as by ourselves. The next thing of interest to us was the announcement of the Junior Honor Roll, which consisted of five boys and five girls whose mark- ings stood above all others in the class. As Juniors, however, we were deprived of two customs that had been in vogue for a number of years. First, we were not allowed to present a Junior Play. Everything was in readiness for the play and rehearsing had been started; but owing to the foolery of a few students, which caused the students in one of our session rooms to spend most of the morn- ing hours looking for their books that had been “stacked,” we were forced to give up the play as a punishment and on account of this we were forced by financial conditions to allow the Seniors to de- part into the world without the customary Junior entertainment. CHAPTER IV “Never was such a scholar made.”—Shakespeare. After a most appreciated vacation we again returned to Sag- inaw High to realize the fond ambitions of our Freshman days,— for we were now “dignified Seniors.” We were on the last step of our High School life. It was for us to attain the top admirably and successfully, and, being bound together by the companionship of three years, our Senior year should be the most enjoyable of all. With careful consideration the following members of our class were chosen to lead us in the numerous duties that were ours to perform: Arthur Weadock ......................President Florence Robertson.......Vice-President Chester York ........................Secretary Myrtle Doerr...................Treasurer Our class pins were then brought up, the pins were received early and without the usual riot because a standard pin had been selected and adopted the preceding year. Our class meetings then ranged to the Senior Play. A committee was appointed and it is expected that the play will be presented in May. The Aurora Board was then elected and the staff appointed and by the first of March all plans were completed. We now look forward to the presentation of our play and the various other events that will be of interest to us. We expect a successful Senior party and then we expect to see the Aurora of Nineteen Sixteen stand above the work of any of our preceding classes. CONCLUSION Our Commencement week. We both regret and enjoy looking forward to the events of this week, for although the enjoyments are those which will never be forgotten and which are not neces- sarily written in history, there is also the sorrow in our hearts of leaving good old Saginaw High. May it never be forgotten. “Then of their session ended, they did cry, With trumpet’s regal sound, the grand result.”—Milton FREDERIC A. LOUDEN.

Wher- eat we stray iftII a - ways soft Hur-nh for the Gold and Blue1 second day of June, in the year of our Lord 1916, do herein declare our Last Will and Testament, to wit, as follows: Article I, Spasm 1.—We do solemnly bequeath to ye school and the inhabitants thereof, a fond memory of the great and glori- ous achievements of the Class of ’16. May our past record have its due efFect upon you that you may strive to attain to a summit equally lofty. In bequeathing to you a memory so illustrious in the annals of time we do so trusting sincerely that ye will not stain nor dishonor it. We leave to you also to be yours and your assigns forever, the much talked of all-school parties. Try to make these parties a part of your school life. Lastly, we beseech you not to allow our escutcheons to be dragged in the dust. Having ears to hear, be ye not blind to our mandates. Article II, Spasm 1.—To the Class of 1917, the Juniors, we leave our beloved session rooms with their atmosphere of holy thought and intelligence. Have ye a care that this atmosphere still prevail (don’t open any windows) and endure unchanged. Those desks also which have ever been to us an inspiration to study and become sage, do ye not maltreat them, scar nor whittle. Article II, Spasm 2.—We bequeath to you, furthermore, that veteran host of unfortunates, those who, having battled bravely against the loadstone of circumstance, have fallen by the wayside. These shall ye know as “Stay Bax.” Our lofty seats in Chapel we do not withhold, but give them E, 1 HE Class of 1916, of the Saginaw East Side High School, in the County of Saginaw, and State of Michigan, being sound in mind and memory on this day and date, the twenty- up to you hoping that you will utilize them to maintain the tradi- tional senior dignity, our share of which we also extend to you for future utilization Last, but not least, we bequeath to you the ancient and time- honored horn. This same horn, having come to a ripe old age, is deserving of your most reverent protection. Juniors, guard it well, that its lusty clarion voice may continue in future times to yield its obstreperous summons to the citizens of the School City. Lose not one ribbon, make not one dent! This horn must ever be preserved. Article III, Spasm 1.—We leave to the Class of ’18,-the Sopho- mores, our sincere wish that they as a class be prosperous and pro- gressive. Article IV, Spasm 1.—To you, Freshmen, we leave the pleas- ant anticipation of three years of Public Speaking. As a warning, we suggest that as your verdancy changes to the drab of wisdom upon becoming Sophomores, you accept this transition with thanks, for you must not deign to look with scorn upon next year s infants. Beware the common afflictions of Sophomores, namely, the enact- ment of old and more or less odious tricks, such as hazing, book- stacking and numeral painting. We leave you three long years in which to originate something new in this line. Freshmen, as a last gift we once again refer you to the great and sublime career of the Sixteeners. We do furthermore appoint the Class of 1917 as sole executor of this our Last Will and Testament. Lastly, we do hereby revoke all former Wills made at any time by us. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, we have hereunto set our hands and seal, this twenty-second day of June, in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and sixteen. CLASS OF 1916. I hereunto render my signature to validity this Will which was rendered in my presence by the Class of 1916 of the Saginaw High School, in the County of Saginaw, and State of Michigan, on this twenty-second day of June, A. D. 1916. ROBERT E. GRANVILLE. [L. S.] N A heathen land, far, far away, There dwelt two spinsters old. The years since they had left their home Were five and ten, all told. They worked and strived through all these years The heathen to convert; But often to their own fair land Their hearts and minds’ld revert. It happened once a box was sent To them, from ’cross the sea, Packed with old books and magazines, Which filled their hearts with glee. They eagerly looked each one o’er. Their amazement was readily seen. When ’way in a corner an old book was found, Named “Who’s Who in the Class of ’16. “The Class of ’16,” they cried, “ ’tis our own! This tells us what each one has done.” And quickly perused the oft read words, Some written in truth, some in fun; And some brought laughter, but all brought joy,— But since you really insist That they repeat this history, They’ll do so, for you,—now LIST! Poor Henry Ford has had to resign, For when Potter got busy, he wasn’t in line. The “Fried” machine his business did mar, But to tell you the truth, it’s a “rattling” good car. “A lady demonstrator,” said he, “Will make my car a success.” So Eleonar Shea is his head sales agent, And her talk does the work—well, I guess! Cecil Weiderhold has broken all records we read. What kind of records, thought we. But a little farther down on the page it said, He is singing for a Victrola company. Helen Perkins and Adlene Barton Have gone upon the stage. As the “Veil Sisters,” “Dottie” and “Nettie;” They surely are the rage.

They packed up their trunks, and before long were home, They saw to it without much delaying. For they wished to return to their own Homeland Where their classmates were setting the pace, So now with the others they’ve tried to catch up, And they say, “For us this is the place!” MADELINE A. MOORE. MARGARET M. HIMMELEIN. PERSEVERANCE When things don’t go to suit us, Why should we fold our hands, And say, “No use in trying. Fate baffles all our plans.” Let not your courage falter, Keep faith in God and man, And to this, though, be steadfast— “I’ll do the best I can.” If clouds blot out the sunshine Along the path you tread, Don’t grieve in hopeless fashion And sigh for brightness fled. Beyond the clouds the sunlight Shines in the eternal plan; Trust that the way will brighten. And do the best you can. Away with vain repinings; Sing songs of hope and cheer. Till many a weary comrade Grows strong of heart to hear. He w'ho sings o’er trouble Is aye the wisest man, He can’t help what has happened, But—does the best he can. So if things won’t go to suit us, Let’s never fume and fret, For finding fault with fortune Ne’er mended matters yet. Make the best of whate’er happens, Bear failure like a man; And in good or evil fortune Do just the best you can. H. NAN PERKINS, ’1G. — rw A VFPYIMr1' 3 MAImvI 1NO I I A IPV A MM MAKT ANN L I’ll u VI 1 U Ml l ARRY Mary Ann! Heavens! What would society say! The very thought of Mary Ann in society made me shudder. But what could I do? There didn’t seem to be any alterna- tive. And here I was, by the express terms of my father’s will, forced to marry one Mary Ann Smith whom I had not seen for some ten years or more, or give up my father’s fortune, and that within a period of six months. Dad had always been a queer old codger and he had proved it to the last. I knew he never approved of my clubs, dinners, banquets, balls, etc., and he had often threat- ened to do something if I didn’t give them up. I guess boys must have been different when Dad was young. Well, anyway, he had certainly done it now. My first thought was to give up the money, but that was pretty hard to do considering that almost as long as I could remember I had had all the money I wanted. But marry Mary Ann! How- ever, there was the bare possibility that she would have something to say, and she might (Oh, happy thought) not condescend to marry me. I remember Mary Ann very well indeed when we were just kids, back on the farm in Ohio, I about eight and she just past four. I had never seen any other girls near my own age and I thought Mary Ann the most beautiful little girl in the world. True Mother’s hair was not red like hers, but was a beautiful brown; neither was Mother’s face covered with freckles, nor was she so thin, but Mother wasn’t a little girl. Mary Ann’s mother was dead, and her grandmother was a little bent and gray-haired old lady, so of course Mary Ann couldn’t be compared to her. I remember so well in all our games Mary Ann was the beautiful princess and I the brave prince. All our lives, from the time she was old enough to toddle alone until I was eleven, we played together and never once did we quarrel. And then one day Dad took me to the city to visit my aunt and there I met little Betty Marden, who lived next door to Aunt Martha’s house. Never in all my life had I seen such a beautiful little girl, with the softest of golden curls, the biggest of blue eyes, the daintiest of pink cheeks and the fluffiest of white dresses. I completely forgot Mary Ann and Betty became the beautiful prin- cess of my stories. After our visit we went back to the farm, and I remember how glad Mary Ann was to see me. But never had her hair seemed redder, her freckles larger, her clothes plainer or more unbecoming than now, and never, never had I seen anyone so skinny. My mind was settled on one thing. Mary Ann could never again be my ideal princess. The next spring Mother died, and Dad and I came to New York to live. Mary Ann and I wrote back and forth a few times and then the letters became fewer and fewer, until finally they ceased altogether. The last I heard of her, her grandmother had died and her father had taken her and gone west. I heard that he had struck “pay dirt” and that they were quite well off. At that time they were living in some God-forsaken little mining town in Colorado. And now I, John Hamilton, Jr., the idol of New York society, was to marry Mary Ann. I’ll admit I had been flying rather high and Dad’s idea had been to pick out a wife for me who was quiet and rather old-fashioned, someone who would be able to quiet me down. But why he should have picked out Mary Ann was be- yond me. Well, here was my music and there was nothing for me to do but to face it. Consequently my lawyers looked Mary Ann up and wrote to her acquainting her with the circumstances. Shortly afterwards 1 re- ceived a letter. In that letter she said, “I suppose we could be married by proxy, as it will be quite impossible for me to go to New York and very unnecessary for you to come out here. I have a friend who is going to New York next week and, it quite satis- factory to you, she will take my place in the ceremony. Of course it will be purely a matter of convenience and I don’t suppose we would need to keep up the farce any longer than necessary. If there is nothing in the will that states otherwise I suppose we could get a divorce.” Huh! It was really quite a novel experience for me to be treated in this manner. Evidently she wasn’t any more anxious to marry me than I was to marry her. But I hadn’t thought about a divorce before. That was a mighty easy way to get out of it. Well, Mary Ann was very obliging anyway. The following Tuesday brought Mary’s friend from some- where (I wasn’t just sure where) out of that vast, indefinite region known as the “West.” I always supposed that the greater part of that region was either sand or prairie land and that everyone who came from there must necessarily be sunburned or tanned almost black and would be rather swarthy. You see, I didn’t know very much about the west. I was very agreeably surprised, however, for Miss Ruth MacDonald was a very pretty young lady of medium height, with a beautiful complexion just tanned to a golden brown, with rosy cheeks, a pair of mischevious brown eyes and a beautiful head of golden brown curls, curls almost the color of mother’s. Altogether she was a very attractive girl and I almost forgot that I was nearly a married man. There was to be no wedding, and on the way to the minister’s I enquired about my wife to be. “O, yes,” Ruth replied, “she’s quite well but very busy and she thought that as long as I was coming this way it could just as well be done by proxy.” “But why couldn’t she come?” I insisted. “Well, you see, she has been traveling quite a good deal lately and has some more traveling to do and she-well-shewas-a-a-too busy to come, that is, just now.” I imagined she acted rather nervous, but perhaps she— “And you know,” she burst out excitedly, I thought, “since her father died she has all the mining interests to look after.” In less than half an hour after that I was a married man and I couldn’t help wishing just a little bit that the young lady at my side was my wife instead of Mary Ann Smith. I knew Ruth would look stunning in an evening dress and society would greet her with open arms, while plain, quiet little Mary Ann— I asked Ruth to describe her to me but she only laughed lightly and replied over her shoulder as she entered the coach of the South-bound train, “O, never mind. You will probably see Mrs. John Jr. someday yourself and then you will know what she is like.” That night Billy (Billy’s my best pal you know) called up and proposed going to Sand Beach for a couple of weeks. I hesitated a minute and finally balked. “O, I don’t want to go down to that little jumping off place. Let’s go down to Atlantic City.” I proposed. It was Billy’s turn to balk and he did so. I finally gave in and the next morning we started for Sand Beach. On the way down 1 told Billy that I guessed it was just as well we were going to Sand Beach instead of Atlantic City anyway as I was a married man and my fun was over with now. I ended by describing Ruth. “Gee! She must be a stunner,” Billy remarked at the end of my story. “She is,” I admitted. We sat in silence for a few miles while I was mentally cursing myself for consenting to come to this little out-of-the-way burg where practically nobody came and where nothing eventful ever happened, when Billy suddenly nudged me and remarked, “Say, who’s the damsel across the aisle ” I looked up. “By all the powers, “I exclaimed, “It’s Ruth MacDonald.” She was also bound for Sand Beach. At that moment I could have hugged Billy for insisting on com- ing here. The l'est of the trip was not nearly so tiresome. Ruth seemed to be a stranger there and I found myself wonder- ing why she had come. I was rather glad she was a stranger be- cause then she gave me most of her time. Billy protested furiously but all to no purpose. As long as Ruth seemed to be willing to be in my company I was not going to turn her over to some other fel- low. The days that followed were just like a dream. Ruth was the most dazzling creature I had ever seen. And to think that I was to live in the sunshine of her society for two weeks at least and perhaps longer! At the end of the first week Billy was for going home but I ab- solutely refused. I was really beginning to like Sand Beach. It wasn’t so tiresome there after all. “Hang of a lot of good it’s doing me to bring you along for company,” he grumbled. “You never seem to have time to do any- thing I want you to. You’ve always got an engagement with Ruth. Don’t forget you’re married, Jack.” By Jove, I had forgotten it! And that brought me back to Mary Ann. Ruth was a friend of hers and she knew how matters were. She really didn’t have any right to be interested in me either, and she certainly acted as if she were. And then I began to won- der who she was and where she came from and all about her, and I was determined to find out. I tried to get her to talk about her- self but she wouldn’t. I knew absolutely nothing about her and could find out nothing. The next morning Billy asked me to go for a hike up the beach. “Why, I’d like to, Billy, but I’ve promised Ruth I’d play tennis with her this morning.” I did feel a little bit mean about it but I couldn’t help it. “O, rats!” Billy exclaimed disgustedly, “Ruth again! I’ll be glad when we go home. Nothing but Ruth, Ruth, Ruth, all the time. Say, Old Man, don’t forget you’re married.” I felt like choking him, but I didn’t. Still I couldn’t get that one sentence of Billy’s out of my mind. Don’t forget you’re mar- ried, Jack.” I wasn’t being fair to Ruth or Mary Ann or myself, and I thought the best thing for me was to leave Sand Beach and go back to New York. I didn’t see Ruth that afternoon and the day dragged along until about five o’clock. Gee! but was lonesome around there. I wandered around aimlessly for a while trying to decide whether I had better go back to New York tomorrow morning or wait over till tomorrow night. I walked down to the beach to watch the tide come in. The beach was deserted and the tide was just coming in. I watched it there at my feet. Each wave that broke on the beach washed farther and farther up on the sand. It was beautiful and sparkling and reflected all the colors of a gorgeous sunset. My eyes traveled from the swells at my feet, out, out, and still farther out till they met the horizon and the flaming red pit of the sinking sun. The glare hurt my eyes and I shifted my gaze a little to the south. There, out of the sea, rose a huge rock and it seemed to my somewhat blinded sight that there was something moving on it. I looked again. Yes, there was someone out there wildly waving his arms. I looked closer and saw that it was a girl. I started out after her. About half way out I thought I heard a voice call but I wasn’t sure. I swam on and on and then suddenly a faint cry came to me over the water. I looked toward the rock again. The tide was slowly creeping up and submerging it. Would I be able to make it in time? Only a few moments ago I had thought the water beautiful. Now it was horrible. Again came that agonized cry. “Jack—Jack.” It seemed as if I were powerless to move. The swells kept forcing me back. I looked up again and saw her cling- ing desperately to the rock with one arm, the other stretched out toward me in mute appeal. I bent my head and plowed onward through the billows. The next time I looked up she was gone and the water whirled over the rock and onward in its race for the shore. She was gone! I was too late ! I almost gave up to the power of the waves when something was hurled against me. Instinctively I reached for it and drew it towards me. It was Ruth! My hand was fastened firmly in her hair. I seized her and started for the shore. After all the sea was good. It had snatched her away only to give her back; and now with almost no effort on my part it was bearing us onward to the shore. At last I felt sand beneath me and stood up, picked Ruth up in my arms and carried her to the hotel. This was indeed the first excitement the little place had ever known. First aid remedies were used on Ruth while the doctor was called. Dr. Newman was not at home but an old medical friend of his from Colorado was there and promised to be right over. A little while later the doctor arrived. Ruth, though still pale and weak, had regained consciousness and was propped up in bed with pillows. I had gotten into some dry clothes and had come back to wait for the doctor. He walked bruskly into the room and over to the bed and then stopped short. Ruth’s eyes grew big and she looked at me with a startled expression then at the doctor. “Why, Mary Ann Smith!” the doctor exclaimed. “Whatever in the world brought you to these parts, and what are you doing here?” “Mary Ann!” I gasped. Mary Ann looked at me meekly and nodded in the affirmative. I was too astounded to speak. Mary Ann’s lips were trembling and her eyes were filling with tears. Finally the tears began to flow and she sobbed out, “Oh, Jack, I c-c-couldn’t help it. I j-just had to come, and I w-w-wanted to know if you 1-1-liked me as much as y-y-you used t-t-to when we w-w-were k-k-kids. D-d-do you, J-J-Jack? Everybody out -t-there w-was lovely, b-b-but after Dad died it was s-s-s-so lonesome. And I w-w-wanted to see you s-s-so b-b-bad.” I took her in my arms and tried to quiet her. “Oh, I’m so glad you are Mary Ann instead of Ruth, because now I can love you all I want to and there’s nothing to stop me,” I told her. She began to smile. Oh, say, Jack, it was too funny, though,” she giggled, “and I was so nervous. I was afraid you’d find out and then afterwards I wanted you to know and I didn’t want to tell you, and I—I didn’t know what I wanted. But you havn’t for- gotten, have you, that I’m just plain Mary Ann Smith !” “You are not,” I contradicted. “You are Mrs. John Hamilton, Jr., and you always shall be.” DONNA SUDLOW, ’1( . iEnglialj UST to be a little different, we will not attempt to impress you with the magnitude and importance of the subject in hand, but on the contrary, this little article will merely be the story of our adventures among the great English clas- sics. It will be a description of how we were trained to express our thoughts clearly and concisely, to express different shades of mean- ing, and to talk fluently in our own language. It is an attempt to describe our four years’ course in English. When we first entered the institution we are now leaving— being verdant Freshmen—we did not know just what to expect. However, we were pleasantly surprised in finding that we were to indulge in no deep Shakespearian lore, but to trace the many ex- citing adventures of Jim Hawkins in Stevenson’s “Treasure Island.” Then comes the novel, “Silas Marner,” and following, the tale of the Fall of Troy in the “Iliad.” Along with these stories we mem- orized certain passages and as original composition work we at- tempted to describe the characters of the different books. The next year when we find the pleasure of being called some- thing other than Freshmen, we were informed that this course was one dealing essentially with poetry, and that we would take up much more poetry in the future. With one exception the ulti- matum was carried out for that year, for we had hardly anything that was not poetry; poetry both narrative and emotional. But when it came to the point where we were to write original poems, it clearly brought out the fact that there were in our class some Longfellows and Tennysor.s heretofore traveling incognito, evi- dence of which may be found on other pages of this issue. By this time we had almost become wonderfully skilled in telling the dif- ference between rhyme and rhythm, in scanning poetry, and in recognizing a metonymy from a synecdoche. This was the year in which we first attempted Shakespeare, and after having memor- ized Brutus’ soliloquy and some other speeches, we were willing to “bury Caesar” and enjoy the lighter strain of “A Midsummer Night’s Dream,” and Scott’s vivid portrayal of Scottish border life in the “Lady of the Lake.” With the close of the year we read Tennyson’s “Idylls,” in which he related the adventures of the legendary King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table. At the beginning of the third year we were greeted by an eight weeks review of that intensely interesting subject, English Grammar. This preparation, however, was later appreciated in the study of Webster, Washington, Lincoln orations. Then we re- sumed the study of Sir Walter Scott’s works and followed the in- trepid Saxon knight, Ivanhoe, through his victory at the tourna- ment, the meeting with Robin Hood, the storming of the castle, and in the end, his happy union with Lady Rowena. This delightful romance was succeeded by Shakespeare’s development of the war- like character King Henry V. Our English teachers were, at this period, evidently favoring the old adage that “Variety is the spice of life,” for before the year had ended we studied still another style of literature in Stevenson’s “Inland Voyage” and his humor- ous account of the overland tour with his sole companion the pack mule. Our last year in this course opened with Chaucer’s Prologue to the Canterbury Tales. With a great many directions as to the pronunciation and meaning of these quaint old English words, the idea vanished that we had come upon a volume of Sanscrit and we set out to master the detailed descriptions of the “Verray Parfit Gentyl Knight,” the “Modest Nonne, with eye as grene as glas,” the “Poure Persoun,” and the rest of the famous Pilgrymes. The three hundredth anniversary of Shakespeare’s life was commem- orated by our reading the tragedies of the ambitious Macbeth and the too thoughtful Hamlet. When we had seen how Macbeth’s “poisoned chalice returned to his own lips, ’ and Hamlet s super- contemplative temperament and total lethargy in regard to action hastened his own destruction, we turned to Milton’s L’Allegro and 111 Penseroso. This contrast between the cheerful, almost frivolous aspect of life with the mournful and grave made us rather appre- ciate that we were more like L’Allegro. Then came Burke’s “Con- ciliation with America,” in which we temporarily became artificial logicians. A perusal of Macaulay’s life story of the eccentric Dr. Samuel Johnson was the beginning of the end. The actual end, however, was a reading of some of Browning’s poems. CHESTER J. CLARK. 3uarpl| Uirtur B’du'ffrl INER der groesaten Dichter im neunzehnten Jahrhundert war Joseph Victor Scheffel. Es gab viele Dichter in dieser Zeit, aber Scheffel was ohne Zweifel einer der besten. Joseph Victor Scheffel wurde am 16. Februar, 1826, in Karlsruhe in Baden geboren, und starb ebendaselbst am 9. April, 1886. Er war also ungefaehr sechzig Jahre alt, als er starb. Sein Vater war Regierungsbaumeister und Buergermeister in Baden. Seine Mutter war eine sehr gute Hausfrau, hatte aber ausserdem ein ausgepraegtes Talent zum Erzaehlen und schrieb auch Ge- dichte. Als Knabe besuchte er das Lyceum in Karlsruhe und, nachdem er daselbst die Abgangspruefung bestanden hatte, ging er zur Universitaet. Als die guenstigste Laufbahn gait zu jener Zeit die juristische, und auf den ausdruecklichen Wunsch seines Vaters wandte auch Scheffel sich dem Studium der Rechte zu. Neben diesem Studium aber beschaeftigte er sich auf den Universitaeten Muenchen, Berlin und Heidelberg auch mit Philosophie und Kunst- geschichte. Nachdem er das Staatsexamen bestandem und von der Universitaet Heidelberg den Doctortitel bekommen hatte, kam er als Amtsrichter nach Saekkingen. Aber auf die Dauer war ihm diese Beschaeftigung zu trocken ; er gab sein Amt auf und ging nach Rom, um sich der Malerei zu widmen. Es war von Ju- gend auf sein sehnlicher Wunsch gewesen, ein grosser Maler zu werden; aber in Rom fand er bald, dass es zu spaet fuer ihn war, die Technik zu bewaeltigen. Nun wandte er sich der Dichtkunst zu, worin er sehr grosses geleistet hat. Er ging nach der Insel Capri und schrieb dort eins seiner besten Werke, den “Trompeter von Saekkingen.” Den Stoff zu diesem Gedicht lieferte ihm eine Volksgeschicte, die in Saekkingen allgemein bekannt war. Zur Zeit des dreissigjaehrigen Krieges lebte in Saekkingen ein junger Mann, Namens Werner Kirchhofer, der ein guter Trompeter war. Der Baron von Schoenhau, der seine Kunst schaetzte, berief ihn in sein Orchester. Dabei hatte Werner Gelegenheit, die Tochter des Barons, Maria Ursula, kennen zu lernen, und er ver- liebte sich in sie. Als der Baron das bemerkte, verbot er Werner sein Haus, weil er seine Tochter nur einem Adeligen geben wollte und schickte seine Tochter nach Wien an den kaiserlichen Hof wo sie Ehrendame wurde. Ehe Maria und Werner sich trennten, sagte Maria zu ihm: “Ich werde die Anfangsbuchstaben meines Namens an die Tuere der Kirche schreiben, und dann wirst du wissen, dass ich nicht weit davon wohne.” Werner ging hinweg und wanderte mit mehreren jungen Musikanten ueber ganz Deutschland. So kam er nach Wien, und dort erregte seine Kunst so grosses Aufsehen, dass er zum Hof- kapellmeister gemacht wurde. Dort sah eines Tages an der Tuer der Kathedrale den Namenzug seiner Geliebten. Am naechsten Tage stand er vor der Tuer, als die Ehrendamen heraus kamen; da begegneten sich ihre Blicke. Das ploetzliche Wiedersehn erregte Maria so, dasz sie in Ohmacht fiel. Der Kaiser, der darauf aufmerksam wurde, und erfuhr, wie die Sachen standen, adelte Werner, und nun hinderte riichts die Vereingung der Liebenden. Diese Geschichte in Verbindung mit Scheffels ungluecklicher Liebe zu seiner Cousine gab ihm die Grundlage fuer dieses roman- tische und stellenweise schwermuetige Lied. Andererseits verraet es aber auch den Uebermut und die leichtherzige Lebenslust, von dened Scheffel, besonders in seinen Studentenjahren, beseelt war. Nach dem Trompeter schrieb Scheffel auch Gaudeamus, eine Sammlung von Studentenliedern. Sein Hauptwerk war Ekkehard, ein Roman, der das deutsche Leben im zehnten Jahrhundert wieder- spiegelt. Im Jahre 1864 heiratete er Karoline von Malzen-Tillburg, die Tochter eines baierischen Pfarrers. Ausses den oben erwaehnten Buechern haben besonders seine besten Gedichte “Frau Aventiure,” “Juniperus,” “Lieder aus Of- terdingens Zeit” groszen Anklang gefunden. Alles, was Scheffel geschrieben hat, wurde in Deutschland sehr guenstig aufgenommen, Hoch und Niedrig freuten sich an seinen Werken. Dies zeighte sich besonders an sienem fuenfzig- sten Geburtstag, der ueberall mit Begeisterung gefeiert wurde. Alle Leute in Deutschland sprechen von Scheffel als “unser Scheffel.” Jeder wuenscht: “So treu und deutsch zu sein, wie er.” REGINA STEIN. ICra OfolfrirB itr ®ahlraux b? $teiH rJINTRE la rue de Rivoli et la Seine au milieu de Paris, repose | le grand rectangle d’edifices qui s’appelle le Louvre. C’est Ifeyg la plus parfaite expression architecturale de la Renaissance en France. II y a beaucoup d’autres grands musees qui possedent des tresons individuals peut-etre plus precieux qui ceux du Louvre, mais, neanmoins, le Louvre prend le premier rang. Quoique beaucoup de peintures precieuses ne se trouvent pas au Louvre; il possede une collection sans rival de peintures de tous les grands peintres. C’est cette superiority extraordinaire avec ses autres avan- tages, qui offre aux visiteurs une excellente occasion d’etudier Part du monde entier. Les galeries de tablaux du Louvre se trouvent au premier etage, qui contient presque trois mille tableaux. C’est a Francois premier qu’on doit le commencement de la collection d’art du Louvre. Parceque la France d’eut pas le grands artistes, Francois I importait un grand nombre d’artistes italiens. Depuis le temps de Napoleon, le musee a ecquis tant de peintures precieuses, qui’il fallut eriger un nouvel edifice. Ce nouvel edifice s’appelle main- tenant “le plus magnifique et le plus attractif musee de l’Europe. Le second rang parmi les galeries de tableaux doit etre ac- corde au Luxembourg. Ce vieux palais est plein d’interet pour les etudiants de l’historie francaise; et les jardins qui l’environment sont tres beaux. Au seizieme siecle le palais Luxembourg n’etait qu’une residence particuliere. Plus tard Louis XVIII decida de le transformer en galerie de tableaux; ou Ton peut voir les ceuvres principales des peintres et des sculpteurs. Recemment un nouvel edifice a ete erige a cote du vieil edifice, ou se trouvent les tresors du Luxembourg. Le vieux palais contient encore quelques- unes des ceuvres principales, mais la vraie galerie a ete transferee au nouvel edifice. Au cours de huit ans les collections d’art ont augmente de quatre cents a quatre mille tableaux. Le musee se devoue entierement aux peintures des artistes vivants, ou de ceux qui sont morts moins de dix ans. A pres qu’ils out ete morts dix ans, leurs ceuvres sont placees dans le Louvre, ou dans une galerie provinciale. La plupart des tableaux sont peints par les artistes fran ais, mais il y a un department, qui se devoue specialement aux artistes des autres nationalites. L’Amerique y est representee tres bien. Parmi les artistes qui sont represents maintenant au Luxem- bourg, il y a beaucoup de noms, qui sont familiers aux amateurs americains des beaux arts. Ce sont Monet, Degas, Paul Lauriens, Benjamin Constant, Jules Breton et Marie Cassatt. L’exterieur du Luxembourg est aussi attractif que les tresors dedans. Les jardins sont beaux; le grand bassin d’eau devant l’edifice, avec ses beaux cygnes blancs, et les belles fleurs, en- chantent tout le monde qui aime la beaute de la nature. La galerie d’art au palais de Versailles de trouve aussi a Paris. C’est la qu’on a une excellente opportunity d’etudier l’histoire fran- jaise. Ses tresors principaux sont des portraits, et des tableaux militaires. Les oeuvres de Scheffer, d’Angiers, Rigaud, Mme. le Brun et Vouet sont les meilleures. Peut-etre la plus attractive statue est celle le Jeanne d’Arc, par la jeune princesse Marie d’Or- leans. Quoique la statue ne represente pas la mine digne de Jeanne, elle exprime de la purete et de la grace. Le moins important musee est peut-etre le musee de Cluny, pres de la Sorbonne. Ce musee a bien des antiquites qui sont tres interessantes, mais il n’a pas de peintures si belles que le Louvre et le Luxembourg. Paris est certainement une ville des musees d’art, oil le monde entier se reunit pour admirer ce qui a ete cree par les meilleurs artistes. Etre a Paris, sans visiter les galeries de tableaux, c’est aller a Rome et ne pas voir le pape. HENRIETTA WINKLER.

P., '16. iCa dJnrriim 0? wows 1 RAN las cuatro y media, y Roberto y Juan habian estado sentados en su cuarto por algun tiempo, tratando de escribir una composicion, que tenian que acabar para el dia sigui- ente. La obscuridad empezo a caer; por consiguiente los muchachos tuvieron que acercarse a las ventanas. Su cuarto estaba en el rincon sudoeste, y por sus ventanas pudieron ver los bellos colores que el sol habia pintado en el cielo. Pero ellos no se aprovecharon de la ocasion, como estaban demasiado ocupados. Roberto se desespero pronto, y sus o,jos buscaron los colores hermosos. Como al miro el cielo, principio a pensar en su. casa paternal en Espaha. Hacia un aho que habia partido de la Anda- lucia para matricularse en una escuela americana. Mientras, Juan miro a Roberto y le pregunto con qua soiiaba. “Con mi casa querida en Espaha,” respondio Roberto. Juan, quien se interesaba vivamente en toco lo que tocaba a la Espaha y sus costumbres, le pidio que contara algo de la corrida de toros. Roberto consintio de buena gana y empezo su cuento. En las ciudades grandes la corrida de toros se celebra todos los domingos durante el ano. Los toros que se usan, vienen de los bosques andaluces y son muy feroces. Los hombres que entran en las listas se ensehan a este traba.jo desde jovenes. Hay tres clases distintas de hombres en la corrida; los band- erilleros, quienes atormentan continuamente el toro para excitarlo; los picadores montados a caballo, quienes levan una larga lanza con la cual hieren las ijadas del animal; y el matador, quien mata el toro al fin. La corrida de toros, de la cual voy a hablar, tuvo lugar en Sevilla, aquella ciudad pintoresca de la cual se dice: “Quien no ha visto Sevilla, no ha visto maravilla.” El torero mas famoso estaba para retirarse de la arena presentandose al publico por la ultima vez. A las dos de la tarde, estuve a la entrada de la plaza de toros y vi todas las clases de personas. Las senoras estaban adornadas esplendidamente con piedras preciosas. Todas las senoras espan- olas, aun las mas pobres, llevaban la mantilla de seda. El anfititeatro, donde la corrida ocurrio, tiene asientos para quince mil personas y no tiene techado alguno. Sentandome observe que los colores mas brillantes predom- inaban en todas partes. Veinte minutos, poco mas o menos, pas- aron, antes de que empezaba la corrida. Entonces, se oyo un son de trompeta; las puertas anchas se abrieron y los actores humanos entraron en la arena. A la cabeza de la procesion, marcharon tres matadores; en el centro el heroe del dia! detras de estos, vinieron diez banderilleros; y entonces, dieciocho picadores. Todos llevaron los vestidos regulares de los toreros. Despues de la salutacion de los toreros por el rey, se desper- saron a sus varias situaciones. Los Matadores pasaron a un lado de la arena y se sentaron para esperar sus partes en la funcion. Los diez banderilleros se colocaron en iguales intervalos, y quince de los picadores dejaron la arena. Al cabo de cinco minutos, despues que los hombres se habian puesto en orden, la trompeta sono otra vez. Entonces, las puertas anchas se abrieron y el toro salto en la arena. El toro habia estado en la obscuridad veinte y cuatro horas antes del comienzo de este estretenimiento y por consiguiente estuvo de mal humor y al entrar se hizo conpletamente furioso. El toro levanto la cabeza y miro el publico como si quisiera ■ decir: “Yo os desafio.” Entonces un banderillero dio un paso adelante y echo una capa roja en la cara del animal. Con un resonante bramido abajo la cabeza y salto en el hombre. Cuando estuvo a cinco pies, poco mas o menos, dei hombre, este se puso a un lado y como el toro le paso, el banderillero puso su mano sobre el toro y salto por encima dei animal. Pues el toro embestio el primer caballo y en un momento este animal estuvo clavado en las largas astas. Poco tiempo despues, tres caballos fueron muertos y los banderilleros espezaron a echar las banderillas en las i.jadas dei animal. Es preciso que seis banderillas esten fijadas en el lomo dei toro antes que el golpe ultimo se juegue. Esta es, tal vez, la parte mas peligrosa. Estas banderillas son dardos cerca de treinta pul- gadas de largura y ornamentadas de banderolas. El banderillero tiene que encontrar el toro y echar las banderillas en el lomo dei bruto. Si el toro viene hacia el matador y salta en el suelo con las dos patas delanteras aparte, el trabajo del matador no puede hacerse. Pero, cuando las dos patas dan en el suelo, pesunas juntas, entonces la situacion esta mucho mas favorable para el matador. En aquella corrida, el matador tuvo que esperar mucho tiempo antes de ver la oportunidad de desempenar su tarea. Con un rugido final, el toro cayo en el suelo, el matador habiendose aprove- chado dei momento favorable para apunalar el cuello dei pobre bruto. El cuento de Roberto habia hecho tanta impresion en la imag- inacion de Juan, que este se resolvio a escribir prontamente su composicion sobre la corrida de toros. CLARA EGGERT-MILLETT. HE barker for the side-show had taken his place and was shrieking to the assembled multitude the wonders of the side-show. “Here you are, here you are, ladies and gentlemen! Do not miss the opportunity of a lifetime; See the most wonderful collec- tion of freaks ever assembled for public display! See the dreaded Harpies, the most foul and filthy creatures in existence, part bird and part human, positively the only pair in captivity! Equal to these in frightfulness is Medusa, the maiden with the snaky locks whose very look is sufficient to turn one to stone ! “See the sea monster Scylla, with twelve feet, six long necks and eight heads, each containing three rows of sharp teeth! The Tritons, too, are well worth seeing, with their human bodies and fishy tails. “The strong man Hercules will perform for you feats never before witnessed by the eyes of man,—he the strongest of all hu- man beings,—who slew the Nemean lion and the nine-headed Hydra!” He paused for a moment to wipe the sweat from his brow and then continued, “Right here, let me call your attention to the stand at my right. We see here Laocoon and his two sons, three of the most skilled snake charmers the world has ever known. See how the huge serpents twine themselves about them! And yet this marvelous sight is only a small part of what you will behold within the tent. “In the collection of human freaks, we have the two-headed Janus, and Hecate with three bodies and three heads. “Listen to that bellowing. That is the Minotaur, the monster who is half human and half bull. Hear the barking of Cerberus, the three-headed dog who guards the gates of Hades. Surely the sight of these two monsters is alone worth the price of admission. Think of it, ladies and gentlemen, the whole thing for the small sum of two sesterces. “Step along, step along, plenty of time before the big show begins! In addition, is the giant Cyclops whose missiles are the tops of hills and who has but one huge eye. The winged horse, Pegasus, is certainly a fine specimen of horses. If horses like Pe- gasus existed today, there would be no need of flying machines. But since this cannot be, why not do the next best thing and have a look at Pegasus? “Visit the tent of the Sibyl and learn your future destiny. She has told fortunes for hundreds of years and yet lost none of her art. “Finally, ladies and gentlemen, let me urge you again to visit the display, for who has ever heard of a more wonderful gathering of freaks?” The barker stopped, mopping his face and puffing very notice- ably. Then began the rush. The people, aroused by his eloquent speech, simply poured in so that Mars and Jupiter had to be called upon to keep them in order. Soon the show in the big tent began. Within a sawdust ring the Centaurs were cutting capers while in another were Europa and her snow-white bull. Cupid was keeping the crowd good- natured by his pranks, and Mercury was exhibiting his grace, fly- ing about near the top of the tent. Pan was playing his flute, his strange body attracting as much attention as his music. Apollo also, playing his lyre, was drawing great attention. All too soon the show was over and the people slowly went away, thoroughly convinced that this had been the greatest day of their lives. PAUL W. WARRINER, ’16. Education JJrr arra for (ttittePttfllfip HAT is democracy? The familiar phrase, “of the people, by the people, and for the people,” suggests the three fun- damental qualities of democratic government. Thus, it can be rightly said that a democracy is where all the people rule through the people, in the interest of all the people. This involves, for successful administration, a clear understanding of the func- tions of the government, a hearty response to public service, and also a service of integrity and honesty both on the part of the citi- zens and their representatives in office. How is it in America today? Who is the ruler and what high ideal is before him? In America, as in all democracies, the ruler is the individual voter, the every-day man with the ballot in his hand. Millions here ascend to the seats of the mighty by reason of the power vested in the free American franchise. Considering the source of our government, the necessity for good government and the dangers which arise from corrupt management, we realize that we should take great care in the training of our junior citizens who are the future citizens of the nation. The Americans of an earlier day got their training in the es- sentials of citizenship from the stern facts of life which faced them. Then the country was small, and the government simple. But, in your day and mine, the country is made up of many states, each with its problems; each with its needs; each with its own contribution of good gifts to the nation. Because of the complicated form of gov- ernment, it is now necessary that our young Americans be trained in the duties of useful citizens by education in public schools. The education of children at the expense of the state is justified only on the ground that it materially improves the quality of citi- enzship. In order that a child may become, by increasing years, a more efficient citizen who can render more and more to the coun- try, he must be trained so as to develop to the best advantage all his powers, physical, mental and moral, and then devote them to the service of his fellowmen. The truth that a person that is physically strong makes a bet- ter citizen than one who is weak has been so emphasized in the last few years schools have added to their courses of study training which tends towards physical development. Gymnasium exercises are arranged so as to promote the development of physical powers and at the same time to afford amusement for the young. Some Boards of Education have-even hired physical directors who go from one grammar school to the other and give the children training along this particular line of work. The teaching of hygiene has de- creased the large sums of money paid out by the government each year for medical attendance, medicine, nursing and care of the disabled. Young ones are trained to know the need of sanitary measures. The need of submission to public regulations regarding quarantine in case of contagious diseases, the desirability of vac- cination, not merely for personal protection but for the protection of others, the need of an adequate pure water supply together with many other public benefits, are explained in such a way as to im- press upon the children the unselfish character of the best citizen- ship. In regard to mental training, it is the business of the school to provide inspiration for higher life and higher ideals of the young, because education awakens desires, train tastes and prepares one’s understanding and enjoyment in fields otherwise not accessible. Well developed mental powers furnish tools for further investiga- tion and the means of getting a distinct vision of the infinite variety of problems in life which each and everyone must confront in order to be of any use to society. Voting requires deep thought and in- telligence. It is necessary that a man should know and have cor- rect ideas of the measures which constantly come up before the public to be voted upon. He should be acquainted with both the evil side and good side of the question, then, bearing the results in mind, he will w'isely cast his vote. Only one mentally trained is able to act in such a manner. Last, but by no means the least, is the part education takes in the preparation for good citizenship by teaching better morals. Knowledge of languages gives one access to the literature and science of other peoples. Appropriate literature imparts right sentiments and leads us to appreciate self-sacrificing deeds and noble thoughts. History acquaints us with the most honorable men of high ideas and ideals whom we learn to love and finally to follow. When these ideals once gain a place in the mind they become active agents. The American ideal, as it has come down from our fathers, is a lofty one. Washington, Jefferson, Samuel Adams, Franklin set the standard of unflinching service for others. Abraham Lin- coln revealed this same spirit in a later day. He chose for his associates and educators the great characters of the world and grew into their likeness. Education does a work that can hardly be overestimated in the building of character. Habits of neatness, order and punc- tuality; respect for and obedience to properly constituted author- ity; the training in attention when attention is necessary; lessens in application, industry and systematic method of doing things; the mutual concessions that are essential in school life—all these are training in character and preparation for good citizenship. The ultimate justification of the educational system, culmin- ating as it does in a knowledge of American institutions, is that the character of the individual student shall be moulded into a higher moral and intellectual type. If this ideal be reached, the student becomes not only a better pleader, doctor, journalist, or public offi- cial, or whatever his future profession may be, but he also develops into a finer speciman of man and a truer citizen, exercising a healthy influence on his environment. He inspires others with his example. He elevates and purifies the tone of society, thus up- holding the great American ideal and cornerstone of liberty: THE GOVERNMENT OF THE PEOPLE, BY THE PEOPLE, FOR THE PEOPLE,—a square deal for every man, no more, no less. ELLEN E. RAMBO. OUR years ago we entered Saginaw High School, a verdant, unsophisticated class of Freshmen, eagerly looking forward to the glad times that were before us. The Class of ‘16 was the second class to enjoy a Fresh- man Frolic. Our first Frolic was held in the gymnasium, January 10, 1913, from four to six o’clock. All the members of the class came labeled with his or her name and were received by Mr. and Mrs. E. C. Warriner, Miss Barnard, Dewey Horning and Margaret Malcolm. After everyone was seated, a few introductory remarks were made by Miss Barnard explaining the program. Then Marie Diamond told the story of “Pygmalion and Galatea” in its classic form. An amusing playlet acted by members of the class followed this, which gave a modern version of the ancient myth in a very cleverly arranged pantomime. The scene showed an artist’s studio. Around the walls were arranged the masterpieces. Among these were Katherine O’Keefe as a French peasant girl; Frances Wead- ock and Floyd Colbath as portraits of the artist’s father and mother; a statue representing Mutery, Daisy Miller; a nun, Lena Messenger, and the Heavenly Twins appropriately played by Robert Tewell and Maurice Egan. Grace Slade played the part of housekeeper very well. Helen Burrill made a most adorable statue and Donald Place was a very promising artist. At the close of the performance dancing and games were enjoyed until six o’clock. The second Frolic was held in March and another splendid program was given. A colored debate was given by several of the girls of the class which was extremely clever. Several of our Latin students gave Mother Goose rhymes in Latin for us, which were thoroughly enjoyed. At the close of the program Ralph C. Morley, Jr., and William Norris danced the Sailor’s Hornpipe. This con- cluded our social life as Freshmen. As Sophomores, we indulged in a “Spread.” The Sophomore Spread was held in the gym, Friday, February 20, 1914, and was enjoyed by almost one hundred couples, all the members of the class. The Grand March was led by the President and Vice-Presi- dent of the class, Gordon Wilber and Margaret Motfit. The dec- orations were pretty and effective. There were long streamers of gold and blue and lights of the same colors arranged from the ceiling to the balcony and at one end of the hall the class shield was hung with the numerals lighted with colored lights. The Spread was laid in the dining room and was served to the class in four relays. The Spread was under general supervision of Miss Herman and President Wilber. The chairman of the various com- mittees were: Decorations, Ralph Morley; Refreshments, Leila Cal- lam; Entertainment, Margaret Moffit; Music, Chester York; Tick- ets, Frederic Louden; Invitations, Edna Ganss. The patronesses were Mr. and Mrs. E. C. Warriner, Mr. and Mrs. W. W. Warner, and the Misses Herman, Lutes, Roberts, Loveland and Babcock. In our Junior year Mr. W. W. Warner introduced a new plan into the social life of our school, with the object of making the school life more enjoyable by bringing the students together. The plan introduced was the plan of the “All-School Parties.” These parties are given once a month by the school and dancing is en- joyed from four to six o’clock. The plan has proved successful and has been enjoyed by all. The social life of our Junior year was curtailed to some extent on account of several wild students of the class and the only real social function was the Junior Hop. The Junior Hop was given in the banquet hall of the Auditorium on December 23, 1914. The decorations were black and gold and the class colors; the orchestra platform was banked with palms and evergreens. Refreshments were served about ten-thirty after which dancing was continued until twelve o’clock. Upon entering school in our Senior year we were quite im- pressed with our own importance and the first semester attended strictly to our work. We are now looking forward to the Senior Play and the Senior Party of Commencement week and hoping that the Juniors will entertain us in some way or another. As we look back on the social life of our High School career, we as a class feel that it has been most enjoyable and one always to be remembered. MARGARET MALCOLM. fluhltr Speaking a HIS is the first year in Saginaw High that Public Speaking has been taught as a regular subject. As is the case with all new things, Public Speaking has met with very little ap- proval by the student body. The students think that Public Speaking is nothing more than an extra burden forced upon them by the Board of Education. But the school board has acted for the best interest of the students by giving them this opportunity in Public Speaking. All through life we must present our thoughts to other people. Should we not have training then in this vitally important subject? In former years, the grades in our High School were divided up into Public Speaking sections w'hich met every Friday at clear- ing hour and had a member of the faculty for a critic. Besides these sections there were the societies: Columbian Literary Society, Girls’ Lyceum, American Literary Society, Thencean, Lyceum and Tenth Legion. These sections and societies elected their own officers and practically ran the sections themselves although there w'as a mem- ber of the faculty present. Their programs consisted mainly of current events with an occasional debate and were made out by a program committee which was appointed by the president. This year, however, an entirely different plan is being car- ried out. Each English class meets once a week for Public Speak- ing instead of English. Usually there is a literary program but occasionally a lecture is delivered by Mr. Witting, the Public Speaking teacher. The literary programs consist of debates, ora- tions and speeches. The Freshmen are not taught directly by Mr. Witting but by their owm English teachers. They have short speeches and recita- tions. The Sophomores have declamations and speeches. Following are a few' of the declamations: “Gettysburg,” “Bunker Hill Ora- tion,” “Castelar,” “Patrick Henry,” etc. The Juniors’ programs consist of orations and occasional ad- dresses. Some of the occasions are: Washington’s Birthday, Mem- orial Day, Arbor Day, High School Commencement Exercises, etc. The Seniors’ programs consist mainly of debates but sometimes orations and short speeches are delivered. Following are a few questions which were debated this year: Resolved, That Michigan should adopt statewide prohibition. Resolved, That the United States navy should be enlarged. Resolved, That the state should adopt the initiative and refer- endum. Resolved, That Saginaw should own and operate its pure water system. A few of the orations written and declaimed are: “Joan of Arc,” “Child Labor,” Woman’s Suffrage,” “The Preservation of Forests.” The object of the debates is to teach the student how to collect and organize his material; to teach him how to prevent fallacies in his own speech and how to expose them in his opponent’s speech; to teach him how to build up a sound and logical argument; and to help him develop clearness, emphasis, convincingness and brevity in oral expression. To debate successfully, it is necessary for the debater to study his topic and be logical. The debater may try to win the debate without logic by using very flowery language delivered like a De- mosthenes, but he cannot overthrow the sound logic and the facts pointed out by his opponent. If he has not thought the question out himself and investigated it fully enough, he does not know what he should or should not refute in his opponent’s argument. A successful debater must be able to see both sides of the ques- tion in order to determine the best possible way to overthrow his opponent’s arguments. He must be able to see his opponent’s main points so that he may rebut only the important parts and disregard the minor points. Furthermore, the debater must think while he is debating. He cannot debate, except in parrot fashion, without thinking. A person can learn an oration and declaim it in the best way, with practise, without thinking; a debater must adapt his speech to his opponents, he must study his audience and be alert every second so that an important point does not slip by him. Clearly, then, debating teaches the student to pick out the vital points of both sides of a question, to have opinions that are worth while, to point out his views to others so that they will see ,----zZ zzz- VS?- '_______ the question as he sees it, and to stick to his views until the oppo- site is proven to him. It makes him broad-minded, quick of thought and makes him think right. But we also need the other training as well as debates. The other three years’ training teaches us how to deliver our speeches, how to express ourselves clearly, how to speak before an audience and to prepare a speech to fill out a certain length of time. It also teaches us the self-confidence which would be lacking without this Public Speaking training. So with these four years’ training we get all the essentials necessary for a successful public speaker. Now let us get all the good we can out of Public Speaking while we have the chance because if we do not get it now, perhaps we shall never obtain it. Who can tell when we may be called upon to make a short speech at a lodge room, dinner, reception, society or some other special occasion, and if such is the case, let us not be unprepared, as we would be without this training, but be ready for any and all occasions. We have the opportunities in Saginaw High to prepare us; let us use them. ALFRED C. MARWINSKE. SCENES FROM THE SENIOR PLAY IOME People’s Troubles,” or, “The Deacon Entangled,” was the title selected by the Thespians of the Class of 1916 for bsssRH the annual Senior Play, given at the Germania Hall, May 12, 1916. It was a highly amusing comedy and presented a series of laughable incidents. The acting was decidedly clever, all members of the cast acquitting themselves in a manner which not only was a credit to each of them but to the whole Senior class. The cast was coached by the Misses Wheelock and Brady and their work in our behalf was appreciated by all of us. To their able direction the success of this, our first histrionic attempt, was largely due. The following members of our class took part in the cast: Deacon Penrose, a member of good standing.......Earl Granville Calvin Spangler, his nephew, called Cal.........Rudolph Gross Rev. Dr. Sopher...................................Charles Boone Georgia, his daughter.............................Helen Perkins Mrs. Penrose......................................Donna Sudlow Ruth, her daughter................................Helen Burrill Harry Baxter, a sporting reporter.................Stanley Perkins Katy, Penrose’s maid..............................Ruth Doersam Mr. Rafferty, a policeman..................................Cecil Wiederhold A Plain-clothes Man......................................Charles Niederstadt The first act opens in the spacious living room of Deacon Pen- rose. The Deacon and his wife are using their powers of induce- ment to send their daughter, Ruth, to a select boarding-school, their object being to sever the intimate friendship between Ruth and a sporting editor, Harry Baxter. The Rev. Doctor Sopher calls at the Penrose home to inform the Deacon that his pledge of one thousand dollars for a new pipe organ would be due in the morning, as the congregation had raised the remaining amount. The Deacon’s nephew, Calvin Spangler, then arrives and after the family greeting is introduced to the minister’s daughter, Georgia, with whom he falls desperately in love. Later in the day Calvin after telling his uncle that he had no intention of studying for the ministry as he expected but that he was an ardent player and fan of the diamond, persuades him to look over an option on a billiard room, which is situated above a saloon. The Deacon tells his wife that they intend to look at real estate and departs with Cal. The next scene is laid in the dining room of the Penrose home. Mrs. Penrose and Ruth are eating breakfast and anxiously await- ing the return of the Deacon and Calvin who have failed to return from looking over the real estate proposition. Ruth reads in the morning paper of a raid on a gambling room the night before, but is interrupted by the arrival of Dr. Sopher and Georgia. They are ushered into the library by Mrs. Penrose and Ruth, and then Calvin and the Deacon arrive. Calvin discovers that the Deacon is in a tight place for want of money, for Dr. Sopher must be paid his thousand for the pipe organ, the Judge must be paid a thousand by four o’clock that afternoon, and Ruth is to be sent away to school the next week. The Deacon’s total resources amount to a little over five hundred dollars. Mrs. Penrose then arrives and is on the war path. Cal fixes things and the Deacon and Mrs. Penrose secretly hand over to Cal their savings to bet three to one on that afternoon’s ball game. The ninth inning ends in a tie, and as a last resort Cal is put in the box. He retires the opposing side and at the psychological moment pounds out the victorious run. Cal proves himself a hero in love affairs as well as on the base- ball field, for he obtains Doctor Sopher’s consent to his marriage with Georgia. Ruth and Harry were not to be outdone by Cal and Georgia for they had been married at noon. Rudolph Gross, Earl Granville, Helen Perkins, Helen Burrill and Donna Sudlow who portrayed the principal characters de- served much commendation for their artistic work. Stanley Per- kins, Charles Boone, Ruth Doersam, Cecil Wiederhold and Charles Niederstadt proved capable supporters to the principals. In summing up the Senior Play it was the general concensus of opinion that a mark in High School theatrical productions was set which will long endure. PHILIP R. SMITH. bsh T WAS a comfortable, peaceful, little village tucked snugly at the foot of several magnificent hills. Not a large village, but the sort of a hamlet of which England boasts. There were few rich people, as few poor, no bad people and no one thought anyone else particularly good. Most all of the cot- tages were built alike and, in fact, the only differently built house was the castle at the top of one of the hills. No one quite remem- bered the time when it had not been there. It was rumored that it had once belonged to a great nobleman, Sir George Huntington, but when or why he left no one knew. Only the gardener had re- mained and the estate had been left to him. Now, the grandson of the fortunate gardener and his beauti- ful daughter lived in the castle. Judith Lowe was tall and slight, with hair and lashes as black as a raven’s wing, a pale oval face and deep blue eyes. It would have been much easier to have imagined her a princess in a fairy tale than a gardener’s daughter. The night of Judith’s twenty-first birthday the townspeople had gathered at Huntington Castle. The dinner was nearly finished and groups of people were chatting loudly at the scattered tables. All were gay except Judith. Her birthday may have awakened her to her responsibilities. She was meditative and depressed. The dinner over, after dancing and games, the guests departed. Only a few intimate friends and relatives remained, among whom was a slim, light German youth of nearly twenty. His eyes were blue and kind, his mouth more tender than firm, and his strong chin alone showed determination. He had been sitting apart from the others and had not joined in the merriment, but, instead, had been watching Judith as she charmingly played hostess to the people she loved. His anxious and attentive interest displayed his respect and admiration for the girl. The friends soon wished good night and quickly rising the boy went to her. “Well, Karl, my boy, I’m afraid you have not been happy to- night. I have failed in entertaining you,” she lightly said. “You fail in anything? Never! But, Judith, I have seen so little of you lately and have so much to say. May I talk to you just for a few moments?” “Yes, but I’m so tired. Let’s sit in the garden for a little while.” Together they passed into the garden, dimly lighted by the moon quietly playing in it and illuminating the pieces of marble and whiter spots, making it a sea of shadows and lights. Karl stammeringly told her of his love—that he was young, but would do anything for her. Nothing that she could require could be too much. Judith, thinking that she understood, tenderly but smilingly patted his hand, saying: “Run along, my boy, you are tired tonight and you don’t know what you are saying. Some day, Karl, when you are older, you will truly love; but you are mistaken now.” She did not understand him and he went away—back to his mother in Germany. Two years had passed and now not even in the secluded vil- lage of Elmendorf was there peace. All Europe was in a turmoil. War had been declared and nation after nation was drawn into the deadly vortex. Countries were no longer civilized nations, but terrible beasts, clamoring, clutching and clawing for victory. Elmendorf had given up her share of courageous men and noble women for England’s cause. Mothers had choked back tears till their sons had gone from sight and sisters had desperately clung to brothers until the last moment of departure. On the first day of August Judith descended the wide oaken stairs of the home she was about to leave. She was dressed for a long journey. “Father, dear,” she cried, “I would not leave you if the hos- pitals were not so short of nurses. But you will be safe here and, father, pray that I may be of use there.” “Little Judith, my little girl, of course you must go.” And the father kissed her good-bye. In a large hospital at Mechlin, in Belgium, quickly but silently (?vrora Judith hurried to and fro among the suffering patients, stopping here and there to speak a word of encouragement and then passing on to do more serious work. She had been in the hospital six months and now the feeling of strangeness and almost fear had entirely worn off. She had nevertheless undergone trials and suffering which had left her older and wistful looking. Her eyes were out- lined by faint violet shadows and her face was pale and drawn. She understood suffering and could sympathize as only those crav- ing sympathy can. “Tired, my little Judith?” inquired Lieutenant Vincent Starkly, a British officer, as she dropped wearily into a poorly manufac- tured chair beside his rude cot. “Yes, Vincent, still tired. I’m afraid I’m not much good. No, I’m not much good !” “Why, child, you’re wonderful. Only today the head nurse said you had done more good and stood longer hours than anyone else. Judith, you must be careful.” “We will forget ‘me’, Vincent. Are you any better today, dear? Tell me the truth.” “Yes, I’m sure I am better, but my wound takes so long to heal, and here I am in this confounded place and can’t get out and do anything. If it weren’t for you, Judith, I would be glad to die. But I’m determined to live for you. To live for you, like you are living for England. Thank God, I found you, and you are helping England,—God’s country.” “Sh! A new patient is being brought into this alcove.” They spoke of other things. “They have gone now and the wounded soldier cannot hear us,” continued Judith. “He is too ill, but we must be careful. Vincent, you know it is not England alone I am working for, but you. I pledged to help England because I love you, and I will get you out of Belgium, dear. You can do no good in helping England here.” “Judith, please—not for me but for England—return to our country the men she needs. You have worked, dear, and returned to her many brave soldiers. I must go next.” “We have talked too long and too much,” interrupted Judith. “Forgive me. You are tired. I will go, my brave man, and try to be as true to England as you have been.” “May God continue to bless and help you in your noble work,” prayed the loyal British soldier. Day after day, during her time off duty, Judith quietly talked of her plans to the man she loved. It did not seem possible to her that the wounded German soldier in the alcove could hear any- thing of what they said. She thought him too far from the cot and too badly wounded. One day, not having talked as long as usual to Vincent, she paused to speak to the other alcove patient “Oh! Karl, my boy,” she almost screamed. “You here! And I’ve not known it. Look at me. You remember me, don’t you? Aren’t you surprised to see me here, Karl?” But Karl was not surprised. He had seen her many days be- fore and had heard her discuss her plans to assist English prisoners of war to escape. He was not surprised but disheartened. What could he do? Allow the woman he still loved to help the enemy of his country? He was a loyal German. But to betray Judith and perhaps see her killed, he could not. So in anguish and doubt, he had lain there hoping for the interference of Providence. “Karl, my Karl!” she continued, “if I had only known before that it was you. Why haven’t I noticed you? What can I do? How can I help you?” “Judith, how you have changed,” he ventured. “So much more of a woman. You seem tired. You are working too hard.” “No, not hard enough. If I could work harder, I would worry less. But Karl, I must go now. I’m so glad I have found you. I will come often, my boy, to see you.” Quickly she hurried back to Vincent’s cot. He had heard all the two had spoken and there was an expression of anxiety and bewilderment on his face. For the first time he almost doubted Judith’s love for him. He knew the young soldier she had been speaking to worshipped her. “Vincent, dear, you look anxious. What is the trouble? That is a poor wounded soldier who wanted me to marry him while I was in Elmendorf. I told him then he would outgrow his fondness forme. Poor boy! He has been quite badly hurt.” “Judith, you can hear very plainly in this alcove. You don’t suppose he could have heard us discussing our plans, do you?” “No! No! of course not. We have been very careful. I can talk but a few moments now and I will speak very quietly.” Plans were made for Vincent’s escape. Late that evening a surgeon entered the hospital bearing an order for the removal of all those English prisoners who could be safely moved. The hospital was expecting a new supply of wound- ed men from the day’s terrible fighting. As soon as Vincent heard this notice he realized that the time for him to act had come. Soon Judith came and he whispered to her as she bent over him. Later in the night, while the men were being hurriedly re- moved from the hospital, a tall, blue-eyed English soldier dressed in the German uniform arose from his cot. His face was bandaged and his left arm in a sling. He carried a card saying he was “Max Otterman” of the thirty-first Bavarian regiment, and entitled to every consideration; that he had been wounded near Verdun and his lower jaw shattered, which prevented him from speaking. But as the roll of English wounded was called, no one answered to the name of Vincent Starkly. Judith was then called before the sergeant and questioned as to the fate of Vincent Starkly, the English prisoner. Her answers were very brief. She said that he had died the night before and had already been buried. She then showed the permit authoriz- ing the burial of Vincent Starkly and the letters written by her to his mother telling of his death. The officer made a brief note and passed on without further comment. This was no unusual thing. But while waiting in the dark gloom for the doctor’s card Karl had heard the story. He was not so easily fooled. He knew that Vincent Starkly, the tall Englishman had been in no danger of dying. He knew, too, that the man next to him on the outer side of the alcove had died that night. Like a flash the thought came to him that Judith had exchanged the names of the two men. Vin- cent, the English officer, had become the German private and, dressed in the German uniform, was now spying in the German lines. He had been expecting this, but not so soon. As Judith stepped toward his cot, quickly gazing into her pallid face, he whispered, “I know.” She turned as if a chill had struck her and sank down on his cot. “Karl, you won’t—you won’t—you once said you loved me! Tell me you won’t.” With a grim effort he lifted his eyes to her face and mut- tered, “For the Fatherland,” and then turned away. She fell to her knees by his side begging and sobbing, forgetful of everything but her fight for Vincent. Again he looked stead- fastly at her. Again he faltered, for she was too strong, too won- derful, and he loved her. “I will wait! I will say nothing!” Very early the next morning a man in the dress of an Amer- ican entered Hulst in Holland. He reported that he had been detained in Germany since the outbreak of the war. His clothes were in tatters. He was arrested by the Dutch authorities as a spy and immediately asked for a United States Consul. It was not long before the Consul came to the prison. The man told his story but had no documentary evidence to prove him an American. His story agreed very well with some facts the Consul knew and he had a very good knowledge of New York and parts of the United States. He also claimed to be a cousin of General Miles. Event- ually the Consul procured his release. After several weeks this man procured passage on a boat leaving for America. The boat touched at Queenstown. Ireland, and the passenger went ashore. A few days later the Military Gazette reported that Lieutenant Vincent Starkly, missing after the battle of the Marne, had escaped from a German hospital and wras now in Ireland. Karl sleeps in eternity with the iron cross over his heart. No one knows what became of the Bavarian private named Max Otter- man. But who cares? Millions of men are living and dying. What difference about one? In a German hospital Judith dresses the wounded, cheers the discouraged and comforts the dying. She can only hope and pray that her lover escaped. She does not know. But in the distant future she dreams of a happy day when they will be together again and prosperous nations shall war no more. She dreams of her tall, bronzed, blue-eyed Englishman. When the dark cloud of war rolls by she will go to him. Faith is stronger than fear. From afar she feels the prayer of the man for her safety, and, alone with the sick, the wounded, the dead and the dying, she hears the clear voice of Vincent calling “Judith” from across the English channel. . HE history of any land or people is replete with examples illustrating the division of our everyday habits and customs into two general classes, utilitarian and artistic. That nei- ther class can survive apart from the other is a well known and thoroughly tried and tested fact. In the early years of our coun- try, our forefathers were necessarily compelled to emphasize all things which might be classed as utilitarian, with little or no time for the cultural or artistic things of life. Their simple lives were filled with daily tasks, made necessary by their surroundings. How- ever, as patriotism, enthusiasm and inspiration fired the souls of the American people, when our country was divided in civil strife, the germ of our national art was nourished and strengthened into life. As the public school reflects the actions and feelings of the com- munity, we learn that the early American schools also emphasized the utilitarian and that the addition of cultured subjects to the pub- lic school curriculum is a practically new department. In the cultural studies in our schools, music has taken the lead. Educational leaders agreed that all people should have a funda- mental knowledge of music, and by educating the children there has sprung up all over the country a wonderful and inspiring ap- preciation of and desire for good music. Our public schools are educating the people not only for performers, but for intelligent listeners, and that they are reaping success is proven at every kind of a public meeting. Our High School is not lagging in this movement, but is push- ing its way to the lead. To the fundamental knowledge we re- ceived in the grammar schools we may add splendid courses ot study in the High School, in which many of us have become familiar with the great masters and their works. Rut we have not stopped with classes, for many of us have gone on and enjoyed the privi- leges of the musical organizations of our School City. The two ever-existing soereties are the Amphiun arrttihe Glee Club. The former, composed of girls, has been under the direction of Mrs. K. M. B. Wilson for many years. The girls have not only received great benefits in music but also have obtained much pleas- ure and enjoyment. For the past two years Mr. W. J. Brydges has been the director of the boys’ Glee Club, which has made splendid progress and makes us feel they are a great_gri 4it-Tu uui «(MumTT in their many well given performances. From this society a fine quartette has been formed; composed of Eugene Oppermann. Ed- win Johnson, Alfred Marwinski and Foss Cooper. Many times in the history of our school there has been an or- chestra, but either on account of a too small variety of instruments or on account of a lack of interest, it has disbanded. A Mandolin Club has been organized this year but its membership is small. It is hoped that after they have become more experienced new mem- bers will be added and it will grow into a society equally important with all others. Music has exceptional power in the formation of our moods. How quickly martial music stirs within us an intense feeling of patriotism, and how susceptible we are to mournful melodies, and how our spirits rise at the sound of happy songs. Music is used with great success in the treatment of subnormal and fundamental people, in asylums and in hospitals. We read that: “And it came to pass, when the evil spirit from God was upon Saul, that David took an harp, and played with his hand: so Saul was afreshed and was well, and the evil spirit departed from him.” We may truly say that music is one of the most divine things which we have, and he who cannot appreciate good music has lost one of life’s greatest blessings. And now, as we leave our High School to explore new paths in our journey of life, we like to look back before leaping forward, and, in that last look, to realize that our public school life has been a happy one and that the fundamentals of music which have been taught us will help to fill our future lives with joy, harmony and beauty.

With the exception of the disastrous defeat on Thanks- giving Day, the season record was most creditable. The defeat at the hands of Detroit Central was to be expected, and with the regular lineup in the field Saginaw would have un- doubtedly defeated Grand Rapids Union. In all the games the local lads showed the fighting spirit which characterized the teams in the past and which is destined to place Saginaw higher in state athletic circles. Never was the interest taken by the student body so marked, and the attendance at all the games was es- pecially large. The squad that answered Coach Liehtner’s call for football candidates was one of the largest and best in years. The pre- liminary practice as prescribed by the coach put the team in ex- cellent shape for the initial encounter. Cass City afforded stiff opposition in the first game of the season but were finally beaten 18-13. A strong Alumni team was sent down to defeat 7-6, and on the next Saturday Saginaw scored a wonderful victory over Jackson in what was by far the finest game of the season. Port Huron and Alpena fell before the onslaught of the local boys and failed to mar Saginaw’s unblemished record. With Captain Weadock and Fullback Barth out of the game, and the whole team completely demoralized, Saginaw proved an easy victim for Grand Rapids Union. Detroit Central was held by a team composed prac- tically of scrubs to a 54-0 score. In the first Valley game, Saginaw displayed wonderful form and easily defeated Bay City Eastern 12-0. Flint also fell before the local attack to the tune of 26-0. On Thanksgiving Day Saginaw seemed helpless against Arthur Hill and were decisively defeated. In order to decide the Valley championship, a post season game with Bay City Western was necessary. By winning 2-0, Saginaw gained a share with Arthur Hill and Bay City Western in the three- cornered tie for the title. Prospects for a winning team for next year are indeed bright. Captain Schmidt, Buetow, Jaeger, Schmelzer, Timchac and the Kellys are the “S” men who will be back together with many of last year’s scrubs. With these men back, a fine team is assured and the Class of 1916 wishes them the utmost success. Saginaw 18 — Cass City 13 The splendid team presented by Cass City was a surprise to local fans who hardly expected to see an organization of that cali- bre. The visitors scored early in the game and made another touchdown on a recovered fumble. Saginaw also made two touch- downs but were on the short end of a 13-12 score when time was called at the end of the first half. In the third quarter Saginaw scored again and practically clinched the game. Artie Barth was the star and gained most of the ground for Saginaw. Saginaw 7 — Alumni 6 A touchdown in the last minute of play and the subsequent goal gave a victory over the Alumni, who were on the offensive during most of the game. The score was made after a series of long gains which brought the ball to the 4 yard mark where Barth went over for a touchdown. Wallis skirted left end for 75 yards to make the Alumni’s score. Wallis, Hammond and Lichtner showed up well for the Alumni while Kelly and Barth were the mainstays for Saginaw. Saginaw 10 — Jackson 7 In the most exciting contest seen here in years the heavy Jackson eleven was beaten 10-7. A long forward pass, Barth to Kelly, brought the ball within striking distance where Capt. Wead- ock made the remaining few yards. The two teams were evident- ly matched and neither team seemed to be able to gain the advant- age. Capt. Weadock played throughout the game with his ankle in a cast and scored all of Saginaw’s points. His brilliant general- ship was responsible for the victory. FOOTBALL TEAM Jackson scored a touchdown early in the first quarter carry- ing the ball from midfield without being held for downs. In the second quarter, Saginaw braced up considerably and scored on Weadock’s drop kick from the twelve yard line. Both teams fumbled close to the goal line during the third quarter and conse- quently lost many chances to score. In the fourth period, Saginaw circled the ends for long gains and scored after Barth’s forward pass with but a few seconds yet to play. Saginaw 7 — Port Huron 6 The referee afforded keener opposition to Saginaw than did the Port Huron High School football team, but nothwithstanding this unexpected opposition. Coach Lichtner’s boys managed to slip over a scanty victory 7-6. The Tunnel City boys were past masters in the art of passing but this was practically their total asset. Both teams scored in the second quarter, Port Huron’s marker coming first. Barth was Saginaw’s most consistant ground gainer while Buetow and Archangeli were instrumental in breaking up the op- ponents attack. Palmer was the star for Port Huron. Grand Rapids Union 26 — Saginaw 0 After injuries had caused both Capt. Weadock and Full Back Barth to leave the game in the first quarter, Saginaw offered but feeble resistance and suffered the first defeat of the season at the hands of Grand Rapids Union 26-0. Saginaw was on the offensive during the entire first quarter but after Weadock and Barth had been laid out, the team seemed to lose all confidence and were con- sequently defeated. Two touchdowns were scored by Union in the fourth quarter when Saginaw’s team was composed mostly of second string men. Seymour played a stellar game for Grand Rapids while Thorn- dyke also did some excellent work. Buetow’s feature of Saginaw’s play. Detroit Central 55 — Saginaw 0 The perfect football machine presented by Coach Buss against the crippled Saginaw eleven was one of the best ever seen at Alum- ni Field and came up fully to expectations. The Detroiters gained almost at will and used only straight football. Saginaw made first downs three times and held Central for downs but once. The first score came in 45 seconds after several long runs. The first half ended with Detroit having 32 points in her favor. Considering the circumstances the whole Saginaw team play- ed well and the work of Schmidt and Cubbage is especially worthy of praise. Saginaw 12 — Bay City Eastern 0 Fumbles at unopportune moments wasted many of Saginaw’s chances to score and the locals were forced to be contented with a 12-0 score over Bay City Eastern. Saginaw worked the ball down to Bay City’s goal, time after time, only to lose it on a fumble. The first half closed with the score tied 0-0. During the second half, Coach Lichtner’s boys gained at will and scored in both the 3rd and 4th periods. The whistle blew with the ball in Saginaw’s possession on Bay City’s yard line. Schmidt was the bright star, both his offensive and defensive work being especially fine. Burgher and Moulthrop of Bay City played well. Saginaw 26 — Flint 0 The diversified attack of the Saginaw gridders proved to be too much for the Flint eleven who succumbed to a 26-0 score. The field was extremely muddy but this failed to hamper the speed of the local backs. Schmidt circled left end for 30 yards in the first 5 minutes of play to make Saginaw’s first score. Schmidt was again the star for Saginaw and S. Kelly’s work at end was commendable. Freeman and Bassett were practically Flint’s entire team. Arthur Hill 34 — Saginaw 0 Arthur Hill’s powerful football eleven materially aided by several hitherto ineligible men was more than a match for Coach Lichtner’s footballers. The largest crowd that ever attended a football game in Saginaw witnessed a very mediocre contest. The Eastsiders were never dangerous and never had the ball within striking distance of Arthur Hill’s goal. The left side of Saginaw’s line proved especially easy to the Westsiders and long gains were made on off tackle plays. Buetow’s fine punts came in especially handy and several of them went for over 50 yards. Saginaw received the kickoff and on the following play fum- bled. Arthur Hill recovered and a touchdown was made in short order. After that it was a continual procession. But for the fine playing of Capt. Weadock, the score would have undoubtedly been larger. His defensive work and running back of punts were the only bright spots that marked Saginaw’s play. Saginaw 2 — Bay City Western 0 On a field entirely covered with ice and snow, Saginaw snatched a scanty victory from Western High of Bay City by virtue of a safety scored in the second half. An attempt on the part of Kaiser to punt behind his goal line was blocked and Saginaw scored the two points that won the game. Western relied mostly on forward passes but they failed to work with their usual regular- ity. Bay City was the aggressor during most of the second half but failed to cross the goal line chiefly because of the brilliant defen- sive work of Capt. Weadock. Capt. Weadock certainly closed his high school football career in brilliant style. He used excellent judgment and his work in the critical moments was unsurpassable. Schmidt contributed a 70 yard run after an intercepted forward pass and Barth made con- siderable gains thru Western’s line. Saginaw 13 — Alpena 0 In a very ragged and unexciting contest, Alpena went down to defeat before the rather weak attack of the locals. The Saginaw boys were somewhat over-confident and did not extend themselves. Barth scored both of the touchdowns on line plunges, one of which was made after a gain of 30 yards. Fleming of Alpena scored a touchdown in the first half but was not allowed since he had gone out of bounds. Barth played his usual steady game and Weadock contributed some fine end runs. McPhee and Fleming showed up well and did practically all of Alpena’s ground gaining. Has krt hall 3K1 HE basketball season of 1915-16 was indeed a decided im- provement over the previous year. Although a good share SPl of the games were lost, the team showed flashes of good form and defeated Arthur Hill, Flint, and Bay City Eastern, winner of the Valley title. Capt. Barth’s call for candidates received a hearty response and five “S” men including Barth, Bricker, Weadock, Archangeli and Gase and many aspiring recruits turned out. The early prac- tice was somewhat interrupted by the Christmas vacation. The Alumni administered the first defeat of the season and in the first Valley game, Bay City Western gave the local boys a severe drub- bing 38-19. Saginaw gained a one point victory over Arthur Hill and took a hard fought game from Flint 25-19. Lichtner’s pro- teges dropped two games to Eastern and Western of Bay City and were also beaten 34-24 by the state title aspirants from Alpena. Arthur Hill evened up the count with the East Siders by snatching a 23-17 victory. Saginaw closed the season auspiciously with vic- tories over Flint and Bay City Eastern. Capt. elect MacGregor and Norris will be back next year as will most of the second team. The team next year will undoubted- ly be a success and the Class of ’16 wishes them the Valley Cham- pionship. Bay City Western 34 — Saginaw 9 Western of Bay City, Valley Champions of last year severely drubbed Saginaw in the first game of the season 34-9. Saginaw was held to one field basket made late in the last half by MacGreg- or. Western was never in danger and had an easy time of it all the way. Nichols, Bay City’s captain and center, played brilliantly and was the chief point getter. Pacynski and Hershey also played well. Bricker of Saginaw starred in the defensive. BASKETBALL TEAM Saginaw 21 — Arthur Hill 20 In one of the most bitterly contested games ever seen on a local floor, Saginaw gained its first victory in two seasons over Ar- thur Hill by the narrow margin of one point. The East Siders dis- played excellent team work and Arthur Hill was also going fine. The game was a see-saw affair and at no time was the result cer- tain. “Artie” Barth was easily the star and was chiefly responsible for the victory. Bricker and Archangeli at guards did good work and kept the opposing forwards out of the game entirely. Brooks was practically Arthur Hill’s whole team. Saginaw 25 — Flint 19 The lead that Flint gained in the first half proved insufficient and they were defeated in a slow and rough contest 25-19. The game was marred by exceptional roughness and fouls were fre- quently called on both teams. Flint apparently received all the “breaks” in the luck and was fortunate to hold Saginaw to such a low score. In his last game for Saginaw High, “Art” Weadock put up a stellar exhibition and was a most important factor in the teamwork of the locals. Barr was the chief point getter for Flint. Bay City Eastern 24 — Saginaw 21 Although seriously handicapped by the loss of Forward Wead- ock, the Saginaw High basketball quintet gave Eastern a hard fight and lost only by three points. Several times during the game, Saginaw forged into the lead only to lose it again in the last part of the final period. Bay City’s team work failed to come up to expectations, possibly because of absence of Capt. Burgher. Arch- angeli was disqualified late in the second half because of personal fouls. Hamil and Barth were the stars for Eastern and Saginaw respectively. Alpena 34 — Saginaw 24 Alpena’s dazzling speed and accurate basket shooting spelled the downfall of the local basketeers who were forced to be content- ed with the short end of a 34-24 score. Capt. Isaminger, star cent- er of the Northerners, was unable to play on account of sickness. McPhee, who was shifted to the pivot position, acquitted himself in fine style. The encounter was decidedly clean and was a splen- did exhibition of fine basketball. Coulture’s playing at forward was fine and his equal as a dribbler has yet to be seen here. MacGregor scored a good share of Saginaw’s points. Bay City Western 35 — Saginaw 16 Coach Morris’ Cowboys defeated Saginaw the second time on the local Gym floor by the decisive score of 35-16. Whatever hopes for the Valley Championship that Saginaw might have hith- erto entertained were blasted by this annihilation. Coach Licht- ner’s boys seemed to lack the spirit and fight that they demonstrat- ed in other games. Western was given somewhat of a scare at the beginning of the second half when the locals braced up considera- bly scored several baskets. Norris and Barth played well for Sag- inaw. Pacynski played his usual fine game. Arthur Hill 23 — Saginaw 17 In a contest devoid of teanwork or even the least resemblance of form, Saginaw was defeated after a hard fought battle 23-17. Although the game was very close, it was far from being exciting and the large crowd displayed but a moderate amount of enthu- siasm. At the beginning of the second half, the East Siders spurt- ed and held the lead for a short time. “Dame Fortune” was an important factor in the victory of the Hillites and the most of their baskets were made by long, lucky throws. Norris of Saginaw, at center, played a wonderful defensive game, and held Arthur Hill star, Brooks, to a stand still. Mac- Gregor was the chief point getter. Saginaw 35 — Flint 24 The Flint basketball team again proved an easy victim for Coach Lichtner’s men who handed a 35-24 defeat to Krantz’ hire- lings. The game was rather rough and Archangeli of Saginaw and Blanchard of Flint were disqualified because of the personal foul rule. Saginaw held the lead throughout the game and were 8 points ahead at the end of the first half. Barth and Archangeli as forwards were responsible for some clever team work. Bricker did some fine guarding and also scored a few baskets. Barr was the mainstay for Flint. Saginaw closed a successful season by giving the Valley Champion Bay City Eastern quintet a severe beating 31-26. Bay City started out with a rush and lead in the first period 17-26. The locals, however, outplayed the down river lads during the second half and really earned the victory. The whole Saginaw team play- ed faultlessly and the splendid teamwork was especially in evi- dence. Bay City played well in the first half but slow'ed up con- siderably during the second period. Captain Barth, Bricker, Archangeli and Gase played their last game for Saginaw High and ended their high school basketball careers in grand style. Hamill was Bay City’s star. Saginaw 31 — Bay City Eastern 26 GIRLS BASKETBALL TEAM (Sirie’ Saekrtball pension of three years. This revival was brought about by the skillful training of their coach, Miss Ruth Smith, and the cour- age and enthusiasm of the local girls. Saginaw 14—Midland 13 The first game of the season was one of keen competition, played between Saginaw and Midland, in which Eva Schmidt dis- played her skill in caging the ball while “Midge” Willis scored the fouls. Because of the excellent guarding, always shown by the Laible twins, Ruth and Esther, the game ended with a close score. Lineup and summary: Willis (c) . . . Schmidt F Prottengeier .

The interclass games of basketball proved to be a very interest- ing feature, as well as a financial success, throughout the school year. As an encouragement for next year and to express our ap- preciation of this year’s work the following girls were given the school “S.” Esther Laible, Ruth Laible, Eva Schmidt, “Midge” Willis, Lill- ian Prottengeier and Mable Bradley. Up to this time it had been the custom to reserve this honor for the boys, but because of the sextette’s unusual success they were granted the school “S.” . Hafiphall “JT7IITH the first signs of spring came Captain Bricker’s call for baseball candidates. The turnout was exceptionally large and included seven of last year’s team and a wealth of new material. The preliminary practice was somewhat hamp- ered by the extreme coldness of the weather. As was expected, Captain Bricker took charge of the receiving end with “Baron” Huss as mergency man. Buetow and Koch showed up well in the box, while Barth officiated at first base in fine style. His heavy hitting was a great asset to the team. Dieckman as second base and Comins at third played very consistent games. Kaufmann and C. Kelly alternated at short. Archangeli, Graham, S. Kelly and Gase took care of the outfield in a fine and competent manner. Mr. Carroll Williams of the faculty volunteered to coach the team and to him a great deal of credit is due. He showed an in- tense interest in the team and in behalf of the school, the AURORA wishes to thank Mr. Williams for the invaluable aid which he rend- ered the baseball squad. Saginaw 6 — Bay City Western 1 The Saginaw High School baseball team opened the season rather auspiciously by taking Western High of Bay City into camp 6-1. “Tony” Pacynski’s curves failed to puzzle the local batsmen who pounded the lanky Westerner for ten hits. Norm Buetow’s pitching was most effective and the Cowboys succeeded in getting but 3 bingles, two of which were of the scratchy variety. The game was safely stowed away in the first inning when Coach Will- iams’ boys scored 3 runs. Western’s fielding was ragged while Saginaw played errorless ball. Saginaw 13 — Flint 12 In a cold and disagreeable drizzle, Saginaw took a 10 inning contest from Flint 13-12. The game was replete with heavy hit- ting and poor fielding and was exciting throughout. Koch started on the mound for Saginaw but after Flint had scored 6 runs in the second, he was replaced by Buetow. This lead did not daunt the local lads who came back strong and were leading 9-8 at the end of the eighth. Flint, however, came through with four runs in the ninth but Saginaw tied the score with three tallies. In the tenth, singles by Dieckmann, Barth and Archangeli put the necessary counter across. Saginaw 19 — Chesaning 6 The batting averages of the members of Coach Williams’ aggregation were materially fattened at the expense of Chesaning High’s pitchers. The country lads offered Saginaw feeble oppo- sition and were extremely fortunate to hold the local boys to a 19-6 score. The game was a grand batfest in which all the Sagi- nawians participated. The game merely served to tune the local squad for a more important Valley contest in the near future. Bay City Western Game Protested. The game won by Saginaw over Bay City Western 7-3 on May 13 was protested by Coach W. W. Morris of the down river institu- tion because the distance from the pitcher’s box to home plate was 3 feet too long. The protest was sustained and this necessitated the playing of another game on the following Saturday. Saginaw 8 — Bay City Western 6 For the third time this season, Saginaw demonstrated its supe- riority over Bay City Western. The final score was 8-6 which hardly shows the relative merits of the two teams as the Cowboys were completely outclassed. Bay City started out strong in the first inning when a few hits coupled with two errors gave them three runs. Saginaw came back in the last half of the inning with four runs and were never headed. Both Pacynski and Buetow were hit freely. Barth, Graham and Comins were in the limelight for Saginaw while Capt. Bricker caught an excellent game. Saginaw 2 — Owosso 0 Koch proved himself the master of Owosso batters and allow- ed them but six scattered hits. Saginaw bunched its five hits and scored two runs. Both twirlers were going at top speed but Koch seemed to have the better of the argument. Saginaw’s runs came in the second and fourth innings and both of them were scored by left-fielder Archangeli. Dante had a big day at bat with a double and two singles to his credit. ®rark HE basketball season had hardly finished when the large track squad under the guidance of Coach Lichtner com- menced working out in the gym. Of last year’s squad, Captain Steinhagen, Hale and Schmidt were available. Among the promising candidates were Norris, Egan, Gould, Ben- dein, Spence, Slack, Goodman and Granville. When the weather became warmer, a much larger squad answered Coach Lichtner’s summons at Alumni Field. The cross country work proved to be very successful and served to put the boys in good condition. The first Valley relay was won by Saginaw, due mostly to the splendid running of Steinhagen and Bendein. Saginaw 80| t — Arthur Hill 41 In the first track meet of the season, Saginaw defeated Arthur Hill 80 -41. The West Siders were severely weakened by the inability of Jerome and Brooks to compete. Spaulding was the chief point getter with five firsts to his credit. Capt. Steinhagen, Hale and Schmidt led in the points for Saginaw. No marks of ex- ceptional note were made but the work on the whole was good. Saginaw scored complete sweeps in the discus, hammer and pole vault. Saginaw 77 — Bay City Eastern 45 The much touted Bay City Eastern track team did not live up to advance reports and were defeated 77-45. The meet was a sort of a walk away for Saginaw after Hamill of Eastern had scored firsts in the hundred yard dash and the shot put, the first two events on the program. The marks made by Steinhagen in the quarter and half mile were the best performances of the day. TRACK TEAM BalUy Mm ONTRARY to all expectations and dope, Arthur Hill cap- tured the annual Valley meet. Arthur Hill garnered 52% points, while Saginaw was second with 41%.

The widow’s daughter, a cute little girl of four or five years, crossed over to the man and said: “What’s your name?” “Herkimer Wilkinson,” was the reply. “Is you married?” “No; I’m a bachelor.” The child turned to the mother and said, “What else did you tell me to ask him, mamma?” ☆ ☆ ☆ Pray do not be so fickle As to love each man you see, Or you will get into a pickle Before you’re twenty-three. ☆ ☆ ☆ Man’s love is like stale snuff, You take a pinch and that’s enough; So profit by this sage advice, Before you fall in love, think twice. ☆ ☆ ☆ C. York—“Doesn’t it give you a terrible feeling to run over a man?” C. Kuehl—“Well, if he is a large man, it gives me a pretty good jolt.” ☆ ☆ ☆ York (in English)—“It’s unpossible.” Miss B.—“You mean impossible.” York—“I mean it can’t be did.” ☆ ☆ ☆ “Now in order to subtract,” the teacher explained, “things have always to be of the same denomination. For instance, we couldn’t take three apples from four pear, nor six horses from nine dogs.” “Teacher,” shouted a small boy, “can’t you take three quarts of milk from four cows?” The bishop was visiting the family and was being entertained by the five- year-old son. “Well, Bunny,” said he, “do you know that ten years ago I married your mother in this very town?” “Why, no,” replied Bunny, wide-eyed, “I thought my mother married my father.” ☆ ☆ ☆ Leota—“This sauce has a severe taste of furniture polish.” Ralph—“Yes, it goes well with cabinet pudding.” ☆ ☆ ☆ “Didn’t you see that sign, ‘Fresh Paint,’ ” asked the grocer. “Of course I did,” snapped the customer, “but I’ve seen so many signs hung up here announcing something fresh that wasn’t, that I didn’t believe it.” ☆ ☆ ☆ “Hercules was more powerful than any we have today.” “How do you know? Conditions were different then. Hercules, for in- stance, never tried to lift a mortgage.” ☆ ☆ ☆ An advertisement which may be seen at the baseball park reads as follows: “Don’t kill your wife! “Don’t kill your wife! Let us do your dirty work.” (Signed) Robertson’s Laundry. ☆ ☆ ☆ The Right Answer The class in history had the (class) floor. “Can anyone tell me where the Declaration of Independence was signed?” asked the teacher. “At de bottom,” promptly replied one lad. ☆ ☆ ☆ Their Hearts of Gold A wealthy American girl was attending a social function at a country house in England. “You American girls have not such healthy complexions as we have,” said an English Duchess to the girl. “I always wonder why our noblemen take a fancy to your white faces.” “It isn’t our white faces that attract them,” responded the American, “it’s our green backs.” ☆ ☆ ☆ Edna (indignantly)—“I don’t care; I think Bob is downright mean.” Heinie—“Why?” Edna—“Well, he wrote me from Egypt, saying he had shot a crocodile seven feet long and that when he shot another he would have a pair of slippers made for me. I’ll never speak to him again.” Inside Information Schmalz—“What makes you think that I will be unable to support your daughter?” Mr. Perkins—“The difficulty I have had in doing it myself.” ☆ ☆ What Jimmy Thought “What is a triple alliance, Jimmy?” “It’s when pa and ma and the school teacher agree that I ought to have a lickin’.” • ☆ ☆ ☆ In the halls of the East Side High School, walking daily to and fro Is a gentleman of fortune, who most any of you know. The girls they call him Buckshot, Fred Louden is his name, And boys may come and boys may go, but they’ll never reach his fame. Lately Buck, has started Cupid to defy, By taking unto himself the apple of his eye. And thus by doing this Buck, has gained the highest lever, And boys may come and boys may go, but Buck, goes on forever. The object of Buck’s wooing is Emma, stately and grand, And Emma thinks that Freddy is just the grandest man. ☆ ☆ ☆ The Merry Doctor “How do your broken ribs feel today?” “Fine, Doctor, fine, but I’ve had such a stitch in my side.” “Excellent! That shows that the bones are knitting.” ☆ ☆ ☆ Oh, what a couple they will make, if their affections do not sever; As couples come and couples go, they’d go on forever. ☆ ☆ ☆ Louden’s Soliloquy The lives of all great men remind me, That I can make my life sublime, By leaving Emma’s a little earlier, And getting to classes right on time. ☆ ☆ ☆ Poor Proxy A gentleman who was once stopped by an old man begging, replied: “Don’t you know, my man, that fortune knocks once at every man’s door?” “Yes,” said the old man, “he knocked at my door once, but I was out, and ever since then he has sent his daughter.” “His daughter?” replied the gentleman. “What do you mean?” “Why, Miss Fortune.” - OH, Where, Oh, Where Has It Gone? Seated one day in the session room, I was weary and ill at ease, Letting my thoughts wander idly O’er my report card’s many “P’s.” I know what what I was thinking, Or what I was doing then; But I s’pose as ’twas my habit, I was lazily dreaming again, Dreaming of how my marks above “P” Without working more I could raise, And of hew I must cram for that next exam, Thus I sat as if in a haze. The “A’s” and known terms of Algebra Linked into one grand “X,” While Pericles seemed in the history of Rome And my mind a puzzle complex. Then startled by the gong’s loud clang, I jumped upon the floor, And made a vain resolution To be lazy never more. Vainly I say I made it, And vainly I seek it now, For to keep it my disposition Never I would allow. Perhaps from Death’s bright angel Again that resolve I shall hear, But that it has left me forever Is the painful truth I fear. ’Tis thus with all the resolves I make, By night I find they have fled, And with them my inspirations, A thousand or more, are dead! Then, penitent, I make some more, Never again I will be late. But with dawn my memory failed me, I think! I slacken my pace. As I ascend the steps of S. H. S., I try to recall my last resolve, •ir ☆ ☆ The Spoils System: The place where spoiled things and waste are kept. The board of health has largely taken the place of this. A Good Provider “Well, Dinah, I hear you are married?” “Yassum,” said the former cook, “I’se done got me a man now.” “Is he a good provider?” “Yassum, he’s a mighty good pervider, but I’se powerful skeered he’s gwine ter git kotched at it.” ☆ ☆ ☆ A teacher was giving a lesson on the circulation of the blood. Trying to make the matter clearer, he said: “Now, Jimmie, if I stood on my head, the blood as you know would run into it, and I should turn red in the face.” “Yes, sir,” said Jimmie. “Now,” continued the teacher, “what I want to know is this: How is it that while I am standing upright in the ordinary position the blood doesn’t rush into my feet?” “Why, sir,” shouted Jimmie, “because yer feet ain’t empty.” ☆ ☆ ☆ “Mary,” said the sick man to his wife, when the doctor had pronounced it a case of smallpox, “if any of my creditors call, tell them that I am at last in a position to give them something.” ☆ ☆ ☆ Presence of Mind The newspaper humorist went courting. He stayed late, very late, so late that the old man called down to his daughter: “Doris, hasn’t the morning paper come yet?” “No, sir,” answered the funny man, “we are holding the form for an im- portant decision.” ☆ ☆ ☆ Alas Professor—“What three words are used most among high school students?” Weary Fresh—“I don’t know.” Professor—“Correct.” ☆ ☆ ☆ Franklin produced electricity by rubbing cats backward. ☆ ☆ ☆ A minority is composed of minors. ☆ ☆ ☆ More Schoolboy Howlers What happened in 1492? Discovery of America by the Spinach. ☆ ☆ ☆ Parallel lines are the same distance all the way, and cannot meet unless you bend them. Hard Luck Johnny handed the following note to his teacher one morning from his mother: “Dere Teecher: You keep tellin’ my boy to brethe with his diafram. May- be rich children has got diaframs, but how about when there father only makes $1.50 a day and has got five children to keep? First it’s one thing, and then it’s another, and now it’s diaframs. That’s the worse yet.” ☆ ☆ ☆ Census Taker—“How many children have you?” Citizen—“Three.” Census Taker—“Altogether.” Citizen—“No, one at a time.” ☆ ☆ ☆ Absent Minded What made you mutilate the handsome new book?” asked the physician’s wife. “The first thing you did was-to cut out a portion of it and throw it away.” “Excuse me, my dear,” was the regretful reply. “It was professional in- stinct. The portion you refer to was labeled ‘appendix’.” ☆ ☆ ☆ Foiled One cold, icy morning in December the nonenty of the high school at C- arrived at the school-house late by ten minutes. The teacher, who delighted in reprimanding him, demanded an excuse in tones which attracted the attention of all the scholars in the room. “George, were you out late last evening?” “Why, I did think that I would never get here. Every step I took ahead I slipped two steps behind, the sidewalks are so slippery.” Confident that he had nicely “caught” his pupil, the teacher remarked as follows: “By a simple method of computation we have then, that every effort made by you to proceed forward, your feet slipped upon the pavement and you pro- ceeded in the opposite direction from that you anticipated. How, then, in the name of Euclid are you here now, since your direction was backward instead of forward?” Smiling cynically at his pupil, he awaited the answer. It came: “I turned around and started for home.” George was excused without further ceremony. ☆ ☆ ☆ Jones—“I want to ask you a question.” Smith—“All right, ask away.” Jones—“I’m thinking of getting married again. Now, you have been mar- ried three times; tell me, which wife you liked the most?” Smith—“You bite three sour apples and tell me which is the sweetest.” “®urn About to iFatr $Hay” These generous advertisers made possible this, and each previous, AURORA. Now it’s YOUR turn to “do YOUR bit.” Give them your patronage. Alphabetical A Friend. Anderson, J. E. Arnold, H. B. Bank of Saginaw. Berger, F. A. Boyd Shorthand School. Burdick, H. B.

And he does act just like a mule; He walks along with gallant stride, And carries a little cane by his side. His hat he wears upon one ear— And ’tis not the effect of Budweiser beer. His toes turn out and his heels turn in, And he always needs a safety pin, For his pants are miles and miles too big, And when he walks they dance a jig. He is the joke of all the town For he really acts quite like a clown. He hops about with graceful (?) ease, And runs into everything he sees. Now Charlie Chaplin, as you know, Is very, very, awfully slow— Except— When flirting with a pretty dame, He isn’t quite so tame. A BRILLIANT FRESHIE. Compliments o} a Friend JOHN F.
